The Dallas Morning News reports in its Sunday Edition that
Texas Republican representatives Jeb Hensarling wants to become the next
chairman of the powerful House Financial Service Committee. And in such a role,
Hensarling wants to roll back the regulations placed on financial institutions
under the Obama administration. (Passed, by the way, by the way by a bi-partisan congress and Senate.)
So we’ve got Romney and Ryan wanting to go back to Trickle
Down, which has never worked, and now a Republican Representative wanting to
deregulate the banking system– the very people who got us in this financial
mess to begin with (with the help of Two Wars and no way to pay for them…) It
seems the only ideas that the Republican Party can come up with are backward
facing ideas. Ideas that are intellectually and fiscally bankrupt.
So, if you thought this election is not important, think
again.
The GOP wants to line the pockets of its rich friends and contributors
and leave the rest of America to fend for itself. I don’t know about you, but I
trust the small businesses along main Street a heck of a lot more than the Goldman
Sucks on Wall Street. And for a fellow Texan, who claims to represent us, say
he wants to tear down the safety net we’ve put in place to protect us from the
greed monsters of the big board, is ridiculous. He does not represent the smart
thinking middle class of Texas anymore than Romney (the one that is on this side
of the most recent flip flop) represents America’s working class citizens.
The GOP is out of touch, and apparently out of ideas.
