@cicerone imposter,
It is not the interest that the banks make the most money. It is the leverage. With $1,000 they can lend !5,000 and when the money is paid pack from $1,000 they have $14,000 plus the interest. That money goes into hedge funds to further gobble companies as they are used for mergers and hostile takeovers. The hedge funds are separated out to keep the banks income or profit low. The hedge funds serve as "bad loans" to superficially lower their income.

If that's how they "earn" their money, they all deserve their "bonus!" It's all legal, right?

@talk72000,
Interesting talk.

How, exactly does that work?

Where do they get the $15,000 in cash to lend?

Anyway Pelosi wins Democratic leadership fight

Finn is all man, but he is regularly in touch with his feminine side.

Regardless of whether the moderators moderate this type of thing or not, this is completely out of line. It's much more a reflection of the poster than the subject.

With a name like Finn, talk thinks I'm a Jew?

Well, you know those crafty Jews. Always skulking around being secretive.

I've written on several occassions that I am not a Christian so perhaps he simply assumed I must be Jewish.

In any case, I'm not a Jew. I wouldn't have a problem with being Jewish, but I'm just not.

I have to wonder why anyone believes calling someone a Jew, as opposed to any of the other truly offensive invectives hurled about this place, is "stepping over the line."

Obviously talk is an anti-semite and he instends to insult when he calls someone a Jew, but how is that any worse than calling someone a #@%$ idiot?

In the latter case, is the person not intending to offend and insult?

You know, maybe not being Jew is why I don't understand his theory of magical leverage.

Nancy says she's not going to go away quietly and is asking to be reelected to lead her party in the House. What say you? Should she maintain her party's leadership or step aside after failing to keep the majority?

Going on seven years. What a fncking mess our country is in. Good to see that Nancy Pelosi hasn't felt any negative consequences of her incompetence. How many mid term elections she's responsible for? The continued loss of state houses and governor seats to the Republicans.

Yet, she remains our Minority House Leader.

Well said. We have elderly millionaires leading both parties. They either never knew how most Americans live or have long forgotten. They all need to be fired and we need to dramatically change their perks and regulate their power.

@Lash,
Well the elderly millionaires supposedly running the Republican party have less reason now to dispose of their leaders than tdo their Democrat counterparts. Indeed there was a rsther serious up-from-the-bottom revolution in the Republican Party and their formerly contentious branches in Congress appear to have gotten the message and united. The forthcoming legislative program on medicvsal care, taxes and regulatory regorm will test that unity, but right now they look the better bet than their political opponents.

After the fiasco of the destruction of our consulate in Benghazi following 50 plus urgent requests by our late Ambassador for security assistance - all ignorded by the State Dept bureaucracy, our SEC State Clinton assurred us that none of that reached her and both she and her successor Kerry took no action to hold anyone accountable.

Now the voters have Held Hillary accountable and rejected her and her Party in both the Presidency and the Congress. What lessons have the Democrats learned and what changes in their leadership in the Congress have they made? None at all so far. Is there a pattern here? Where does it lead?

Why is it cool to blame Pelosi and not Obama? What strategic or tactical errors stand out to you as a reason why we should ditch her in particular?

@Kolyo,
I don't think the issue of who to blame for the current political situayion of the Democrat Pary is either particularly important or interesting. The observable fact is that there was a high degree of unanimity evident among the leading Democrats throughout the Obama years , and in terms of the legacy effects of the policies they followed, all share in the blame or credit one may wish to apply. Moreover that unanimity appears to be continuing. It may be that, with Trump in office, the various elements of the Democrrat party are adequately united only by a common enemy. If so, that should be sdufficient for a while, but possibly dangerous for then over time.

I think the truly interesting question and issue here is just what poliical factors caused the widespread defeats of Democrat cvandidates in the Presidential race; the Federal House and Senate, and in races for State legislatures and Governorships across the country? It does not appear that Democrats have yet come to grips with these questions and the underlying issues, which may influence elections in the coming years. It appears the last power blocs left standing among Democrats are those on the party's far left - at least that is what is suggested by the recent positions taken by Democrat leaders in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and as well in the ongoing contest fort leadership in the DNC. Amidst all the ongoing anti Trump turmoil these issues may go unbresolved, leaving the Democrat political bench bereft of centrists and potential future leaders.

That's fine with me, but it may not be in keeping with their political interests.
