The Senate approved new far-reaching financial rules on Thursday aimed at preventing the risky behavior and regulatory failures that brought the economy to the brink of collapse two years ago and cost millions of Americans their jobs and savings.
The bill passed by a vote of 59 to 39, with four Republicans joining a majority of Democrats in supporting it.

Remember this Maine voters. Sink the RINOs.
Yeah, the cabinet members, the speaker and the Senate leader all must be exhausted after that courting. /s
A drunk slut during spring break is harder to get than those two.
And a greater catch.
Looks like employment will be up over at the IRS again.
Credit, for those who work, will be very hard to get now.
Gold and silver, and a shotgun to protect it.

And more faithful.
Isn't there ANYONE in the country who can take down these snakes?
Stop donating to the GOP until they finally purge these RINOs.
I'm about ready to take the red pill and endure what I may encounter.
Anywhere where personal freedom has a chance.
Just another notch in the retake of America. We didn’t expect less. They’re dealing with Americans, they’re not dealing with Europeans. We won’t be ruled. So all this stuff is their doing, is going to be useless. First, it’s unconstitutional, second, it’s unprecedented. But third, we thrive on liberty. You government types, yeah, pass a law, and we’ll abide by it if it’s constitutional Sorry, we won the English.
None of this matters. LOL I’d like to see you manage me. And thousands of me’s. Come get me. Come on, send the storm troopers. Get a life, I’m not abiding by your rules, my kids won’t and their kid’s wont. Get a CLUE! We’re done with you. I fart in your direction.
That Obama can shut down ANY BUSINESS he deems necessary. With NO OVERSIGHT by the SCOTUS.
Checks and balances??? Zero don’t need no stinkin’ checks and balances!
The RINOs who signed onto this should be ashamed!
Paging Scott Brown....Paging Scott Brown.
Hmmmmm, who endorsed this guy? Hmmmmmmm.
We are to the point it appears that only the venom of another snake can take them down.
