After pressure from the White House, Federal Reserve and of course Timmy Geithner, Bernie has compromised his bill and at best, we will only get a peek. So much for; “Change We Can Believe In” and meaningful transparency. It appears to grandpa if a full audit were to be conducted, it would likely prove most embarrassing to the White House, Congress would in fact have to acknowledge they are in fact a collection of buffoons and Ben and Timmy could very well be shown the door.
Of course compromise was required, mid term elections are less than 6 months away. Bernie mainains that his amendment albeit diluted, still has teeth. For the benefit of grandchildren everywhere, we need to put pressure on all "representatives" to vote for Bernie's amendment especially those incumbents that voted to repeal Glass-Steagall!! That includes you Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, Carl Levin, Max Baucus, Susan Collins, Judd Gregg and Chuck Schumer. I am watching and remain one motivated grandpa.
