Democrat GOP Bipartisanship exists, for helping banks!

(1/1)

Tolpuddle Martyr:
After the 2008 financial crisis you'd think that the Democrats would realize that Frank Dodd was one of the most sensible legacies of the Obama administration.

Nope.

Their reasons?


--- Quote ---“I hope that our bipartisan work can rub off on the rest of Congress so we can break through the partisan gridlock that has plagued Washington for too long,” said Jon Tester, one of the moderate Democrats who worked on the legislation.

Yes, because conservatives always reciprocate cooperation-particularly in Washington, very much so, yes!

Or are paid off by the banks.

Remember that part of this bill (I mentioned it a few times elsewhere) keeps the CFPB from investigating whether banks are being racially discriminatory in their fees and interest rates. I thought Democrats stood up for racial minorities?

Bipartisanship: Democrats and Republicans working together to fuck over regular people.
