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.
The 1,500-page measure, shepherded through the Senate by Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the banking committee, seeks to reshape both Washington and Wall Street.

They successfully courted Republican Sens. Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine, in part by including in the final bill provisions that each wanted. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) also backed the bill. Equally critical was the last-minute push to win over Scott Brown (R), the Senate's newest member.

Me thinks it won't help with this one.

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.
A drunk slut during spring break is harder to get than those two.
And a greater catch.
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.
I will pay for a program that will guarantee to auto delete the GOP "give me" emails.
FLUSH THE BROWN.
It sure didn’t take that clown long to show is real colors.
He is a deal maker..just had to listen to him.
Yes, Americans will prevail. Don’t get into the mode your congressman or senator is the end all. WE THE PEOPLE GIVE POWER TO THE GOVERNMENT. We are just taking it back our country. It’s beyond time we take back our government, our education and our country. We have to fight! WE HAVE TO FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is our country, We’re not the world’s country dumping ground for the deviants.
We have no one to represent us.
I stand proud knowing I didn't compromise my conservative morals by be fooled by, or even misrepresenting this classic RINO.
[I’d like to see you manage me. And thousands of me’s. ]
I’m already taking steps to avoid te coming confiscation of assets.
As somebody who has had some issues with Rush Limbaugh over the years, he is the lone voice of reason in the country right now for conservatives.
The DOW dropped 376 points and change (3%) on this news today. Of course they WANT you to think it dropped due to the Euro-debt. *SMIRK*
Alcoa and BANK OF AMERICA dropped sharply.
Another 500K jobs lost this past WEEK, NO manufacturing orders (Alcoa) and people are defaulting on mortgages left and right (BOA).
Things are just PEACHY!
Money hungry, power hungry elitist plus.
They’re all alike.
Do we need to talk to lawyers?
I’m in the dark as what to do.
I hate to lose any assets we’ve worked and saved for.
Indeed, and it’s such a shame.
It’s more then a shame.
We’re getting shafted and not by accident.
That’s what really pizzes me off.
OK Let’s all watch our savings go up in smoke tomorrow. Yippee! Then we will all be on the dole...but there isn’t any dole left.
I was so worried, I was so stressed. Now, I’m just preparing. F all of the Dems. I will survive. I don’t need gov at any level. These bureaucrats need to come to terms with the fact that their job is dispensable. WE DON’T NEED YOU. And AMERICA WILL WIN!!!!
I’m prepping, so are most of my fellow patriots. Gov, take a hike. We don’t need you, and you’re out of here.
It is just going to be a pretty bad situation for a minimum of five years and likely ten or more. The country is bankrupt, the only thing supporting the dollar is the collapse of the Euro. There’s plenty of things you can do though. Get rid of debt. Downsize expenditures. Buy a little gold. Start a Victory garden if you have a little land (I just did and the numbers aren’t all that bad). I have some classic cars that are indefinitely reparable and keep their value. Cut viciously now and you will be okay.
I know first hand that things are going to hades faster than you think. Tomorrow is going to be interesting to say the least. Get ready.
That will come. We’ll just go underground. People will use whatever means.
The dow dropped because of the management of the US dollar. THey can lay all the excuses on all the countries, but we know the real reason. Democrats, liberals, socialism.
Have you noticed, freedom is never mentioned by obama. We all knew it. He’s pushing commie. It’s a FACT!
Isn’t there ANYONE in the country who can take down these snakes?
______________
I doubt it. Have alternative plans just in case.
Great post! We need more Americans like you. A++++
Is far-reaching the new term for "unconstitutional", "illegal", "socialist" and/or "power grabbing"?
And what would those steps be? I'm curious since I might want to do the same.
I live in Maine, and I don’t want to be part of frickin’ Canada!
I hate curling! For what it’s worth, I hate Snowe and Collins, too.
>I live in Maine, and I don’t want to be part of frickin’ Canada!

Think you’ve got it bad?? I’m from canada! I escaped socialism and ended up in Marxism that makes my old country look like Reaganland.
And yesterday it was reported that it didn’t pass. These people........REPUBLICANS and communists alike need to be put in front of a firing squad. I’m sorry..but justice MUST be done and lifetime prison sentences IS NOT justice. These people have screwed us and do not have to live by what they relegate to us ‘common folk’ (although we pay the bill). Our beloved Nation is sinking quickly and diplomacy is DEAD.
On a side note, this evening, while going to the store I was behind a ‘hybrid’ prius (sp) with an Obama/Biden sticker in the rear window and I became unglued, honking my horn and well making gestures and mouthing words that I shouldn’t even know...God help me because honestly, even being female, if the SOB would have gotten out of his vehicle, I would have knocked him in the head (I carry a black jack for self defense). WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE? I don’t get it...Honest to God...I don’t understand.
