Discussion: Trump: We’re Gutting Dodd-Frank Because My Friends Can’t Get Loans (VIDEO)

These tiny, little men with their 5 or 6 mega-mansions that they rarely see.
Their lives are like soda fizz, exciting, fizzy.
But they end, seemingly in a blink, with little to remember or fuel a soul’s ascent to Heaven.

that’s what I don’t get. It’s like my 80+ year old uncle Joe, living fat an happy like almost all baby boomers, so he voted tRUmp to stir it up a little in DC. When my dad told me this, I asked him, what did he have it too easy all of his life?

it’s like the big point in climate change that never gets discussed, our species has thrived in this relatively cool climate over the last 6,000 years, to the point of over population, but there are no guarantees that the next iteration of the climate will suit us at all, so doesn’t it make sense from, say, a survival stand point, to maintain that which has allowed you to prosper?

Name 3 of your so-called friends and have them speak about their plight to a Congressional Committee. And televise the hearing.

What a fucking crowd. The greed level is hard to comprehend. Eight years of borrowing money at ZERO interest rates, corporate subsidies still in place, corporate tax rates - effective - in the mid-teens, and these pricks think they deserve more. Democratic Party and our beloved media better turn this into a blood battle, put the pedal to the metal and keep it there.

Trump also promised the business leaders in the room that he would “get taxes even lower than we’re going to be cutting them,” and that he would seek their input in doing so.

Wait…so they’re going to be lower than what you cut them to? What is that even supposed to mean?

Here’s the Bannon 4-Year Plan: fuck everything up to the point of being unrecognizable, profit immensely on everything we do, get us into a few wars, destroy the economy, take us to the brink of collapse and then…

…let a Democrat get elected to take the fall.

Yeah… and way, way beyond what they could possibly spend in their lifetime even if they lead a pretty comfortable life – as if they could hug it in their coffin and take it with them to hell.

I sincerely don’t get the motivation.

I don’t get it either but I have a couple of friends who are really tight and they seem to value the actual money rather than what it can buy.

I don’t get that either but I think it is the same kind of thing.
