Are Congressmen too dumb to understand Wall Street?
I was reading the transcripts and it seems that Levin is not qualified to ask questions to Goldman Saks if he doesn't understand the role a market maker plays. Goldman's job was to give disclosure about the product not the buyers or sellers on the other side of the transaction.
4 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy do people say that Bush did not regulate Wall St when he pushed through the largest regulation in History?
Bush pushed for Sarbanes-Oxley which was the largest regulation bill in decades in response to Enron and Worldcom which was a failure of the regulators under Clinton's watch. There were no de regulation bills.

3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoHas anyone seen the data on global warming?
A lot of people say there is a ton of evidence about global warming but have they actually seen the data? Every believer I know admits they have never seen it. We see reports but none of the raw data. None of the climate models have accurately predicted weather as far as I know. I have an Engineering Degree and I am a skeptic, but science is a "prove it to me" sport.
6 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat would stop people from voting for more spending that the country can't afford?
Would a law requiring all new spending be derived from tax increases on all taxpayers not just above a certain level keep people from voting for things they want because it would impact them rather than pass the cost on to others? If everyone had to pay, would we be more concerned with how much we spend?

7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWill anyone on the left concede that the decline in the market is a reaction to Obama's policy?
If you follow the DOW, you will see a correlation to Obama's comments like "Spread the wealth" and " Now is not the time for profits". Whenever policy is announced or companies are berated, the market drops. I fear the market reaction when Cap and Trade is announced.
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAt what point will we all realize that Dems and Repubs have to work together?
I see a lot of blaming both sides for our current mess. No one party is fully responsible. I am sick of politicians on both sides trying to gain from this. Reagan did not blame Carter, Clinton did not blame Bush, Bush did not blame Clinton. All inherited problems, all worked them out.
