Post Election Obama: I intend to continue using Big Banking for the fall guys on some issues.



Yesterday,  Saturday the 26th,  H Obama pledged to continue his fight against fiscally  “irresponsible behavior.”  Of course,  he has no clue,  personally,  what that means,  since he has personally increased out deficit go 60%,  but,  then,  who is counting.  

In his weekly radio address,  he had this to say:   

“Here in America, we know the free market is the greatest force for economic progress the world has ever known.  But we also know the free market works best for everyone when we have smart, commonsense rules in place to prevent irresponsible behavior  . . . . . .  But it’s not enough to change the [financial] law – we also need cops on the beat to enforce the law.  And that’s why, on Thursday, I nominated Mary Jo White to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Richard Cordray to continue leading the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.    Mary Jo White has decades of experience cracking down on white-collar criminals and bringing mobsters and terrorists to justice.  At the SEC, she will help complete the task of reforming Wall Street and keep going after irresponsible behavior in the financial industry so that taxpayers don’t pay the price.”

Editor’s notes:  while some conservatives see this as an evil omen,  Jamie Dimon (pronounced “Diamond”) in a Fox Business News interview with Liz Claman,  praised White and indicated that,  while he is not happy with this Administration,  “it is what it is,”  and it is time to move.   Obviously that is what Wall Street has done,  what with its record highs and recessionary recovery.  

Understand that the printing of money called "monetary easing" (some 40 billion printed each and every month as of a Fed decision in 2012),  the stock market is juiced with this new money,  and is in full “rebound mode”  when other fiscal categories continue to experience recessionary penalties such as the jobs recession,  the bankruptcy recession,  the building recession,  the manufacturing recession and the foreign policy recession.
