Congress Reaches Agreement on How to Further Screw Up the Economy, Our Lives

This won’t end well:

After months of uncertainty about how the U.S. would craft new rules, the agreement offers the clearest picture since the financial crisis of how markets and the government will interact for decades to come. The common thread: large financial companies are facing a tougher leash.

Oh, Duane, come on. How can you know this won’t end well?

Two quotes from Sen. Chris Dodd.

First:

“This is about as important as it gets, because it deals with every single aspect of our lives,” said Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), a chief architect of the compromise.

Yeah, Chris Dodd is the “chief architect” of a bill that will “deal with every single aspect of our lives.”

Consider that while reading the second quote from the same guy:

“No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.”

It impacts every single aspect of our lives in ways we don’t even understand.

Thank you, fickle voters, for electing these titans of jackassery.

    Just like the health care bill, right? We've got to pass it so that we can find out what's in it… that they were LYING about what they 'promised' to gullible morons.

    "titans of jackassery"… awesome.

    I wonder if it would be possible to start our own country within the United States, so that when the U.S. ****s itself out of existence, we could just step up and take over. It would take a radical new way of running things, but I think I know of a set of instructions for setting something up that would work: The Constitution.
