Banking Man always, always looks out for his own interests first; Banking Man is NOT altrustic (at a minimum, there's a tax writeoff buried somewhere in any apparently goodwill acts).<BR/><BR/>Voluntary programs like this FAIL, always. Without mandated actions, without requirements, without well-teethed sanctions for failure to comply, and without a working oversight mechanism, this sort of thing fails. Always has, always will.<BR/><BR/>Failure is, of course, a Bush hallmark, but this sort of thing is even bigger than his usual inky-red-handed prints can reach.Chipmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407470289156387654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-8578330897046114912008-12-20T12:31:00.000-05:002008-12-20T12:31:00.000-05:00I'm disgusted with all of them - Dodd, Frank, Bern...I'm disgusted with all of them - Dodd, Frank, Bernanke, Paulson - but just didn't feel like repeating all their names in this post. The list is simply too long to type out all their names every time.<BR/><BR/>I'm still amazed that Dodd didn't drop Banking and take the Foreign Relations Chairmanship. But as then-Senator Bob Torricelli (Incumbent-North Korea) found out, you can catch some heat for taking campaign donations from overseas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-57796163128511751632008-12-20T12:13:00.000-05:002008-12-20T12:13:00.000-05:00Perhaps we should ask the chairman of the Banking ...Perhaps we should ask the chairman of the Banking Committee, Chris Dodd (D-Countrywide); why his pet programs are falling apart despite untold amounts of money being poured into them ?<BR/><BR/>http://thenextright.com/ironman/chris-dodds-empty-stockingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
