Most Democrats in Congress appear to have decided that Democratic voters have nowhere else to go.
With the cluelessness of the average American, the helplessness of the average Democratic Party voter from the depravity of their corrupted representatives, and with safe gerrymandered districts protecting these corrupted tools of Wall Street, ya'll can just fuck off, say Democrats in Congress.
We can and we will suck up to our corporate donors, these shameless fucks say.
Yes we will force Americans to subsidize Wall Street derivatives.
No you will not cock block Wall Street money from our campaigns.
Yes yes send out the Progressive politicos to sooth them....
Bank lobbyists have been pushing the provision for several days, earning the ire of bank-reform-minded Democrats including Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee.
Those objections hit critical mass late Monday, as word spread on Capitol Hill that Democratic negotiators had agreed to a bid from House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) that would effectively subsidize much of the derivatives business.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) blasted the proposal in a written statement provided to HuffPost.
"Rolling back derivatives rules in Dodd-Frank would be reckless," Warren said. "Middle class families are still paying a heavy price for the decisions to weaken the financial cops, leaving Wall Street free to load up on risk. Congress should not chip away at important reforms that protect taxpayers and make our economy safer."
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) told HuffPost the proposal is "a good example of capitalism's death wish."
