QOTD

Steve Fraser, Wall Street historian

I am surprised — more than surprised, shocked even — that all that’s transpired since 2007-8 has produced as little as it has, in terms of reckoning with how out of control this financial system was and the damage it’s done... For a historian, it’s a baffling moment. All the stars seemed aligned to produce real, fundamental change in the direction of public policy, and yet here we are with an administration itself bending over backwards to make friends with the financial industry.

So this has been making the rounds

The House GOP's Plan to Redefine Rape.

And mostly my reaction is, I wish I could be 100% confident that Obama would veto the bill.

Sadly, I'm not at all certain he won't seek some new "compromise."
