8 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat do you think of carbon regulation and "International Harmonization" being in the financial reform bill?
Cap and Trade was dropped because it was included in H.R.4173 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Also, other nations will have a say on how we run our nation when it comes to carbon regulation and we must share info with them. Here is a sample below but I suggest you download the bill and read for yourself.
HR4173 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Sec.750-752. Small sample below:
SEC. 750. STUDY ON OVERSIGHT OF CARBON MARKETS. (e) REPORT.—Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the interagency group (see page 1013) shall submit to Congress a report on the results of the study conducted under subsection (b), including recommendations for the oversight of existing and prospective carbon markets to ensure an efficient, secure, and transparent carbon market, including oversight of spot markets and derivative markets.
SEC. 752. INTERNATIONAL HARMONIZATION.(a) In order to promote effective and consistent global regulation of swaps and security-based swaps, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the prudential regulators (as that term is defined in section 1a(39) of the Commodity Exchange Act), as appropriate, shall consult and coordinate with foreign regulatory authorities on the establishment of consistent international standards with respect to the regulation (including fees) of swaps, security-based swaps, swap entities, and security-based swap entities and may agree to such information-sharing arrangements as may be deemed to be necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors, swap counter parties, and security-based swap counterparties.(b) In order to promote effective and consistent global regulation of contracts of sale of a commodity for future delivery and options on such contracts, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission shall consult and coordinate with foreign regulatory authorities on the establishment of consistent international standards with respect to the regulation of contracts of sale of a commodity for future delivery and options on such contracts, and may agree to such information-sharing arrangements as may be deemed necessary or appropriate in the public interest for the protection of users of contracts of sale of a commodity for future delivery.

4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat do you think of Scott Brown voting for the financial reform bill?
He was the deciding vote in the Senate and it is now sent back to the House. With this bill the govt. will now control 60% of the economy, the government will be able to view everyone's ATM/Credit Card purchases and bank info in detail, and will be able to close any business it doesn't see as "fit".

S.510, HR875, and S.425 are 3 bills for govt. to completely take over the food industry.
The govt. already controls auto, banks, housing, healthcare, and soon the internet. Is this so hard to believe?

If accepted [S 510] would preclude the publics right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of ones choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God. ~Dr. Shiv Chopra
How can anyone deny it when it is in the BILLS?
Google it!! No I did not hear it on FOX or ANY news source. This is being spread via blogs/ social networks. No wonder why the government wants to control the internet.
