i hope this does a Hell of a lot better.

This study needs to be discussed during the campaign.

No wonder the 1% was scared enough to foist Richie Rich on the Repukes as their nominee . . . they hear the frustration from the middle class and they're scared.

is doing fine.

Some of us from industrial areas never recovered after Can-US FTA and NAFTA and loss of unionized jobs. Its been a lost 15-20 years with zero new investment to replace them. And we're sitting on a housing bubble of our own and relying increasingly on a fickle natural resource economy now. No time to be smug.

I was not being smug. I was pointing out that deregulation of financial markets cost more to Americans than it was worth. Afterall the GOP is trash talking Dodd-Frank.

the American middle class one in order to emphasize the grievous wrong not regulating banking and markets can cause. This crisis in the USA was not necessary. It didn't have to happen. How financial markets are regulated is up for grabs in this election. I want Democrats to have all the evidence possible for when they talk to family, friends and neighbours or volunteer at call banks and such in the months to come.
