DLS – “lunacy like 'social responsibility'…in annual reports of corporations”.

Even for you that's a classic. FYI, corporations have been flaunting their social responsibility for, well, ever.

You do make me laugh though. I guess I'll thank you for that, my self proclaimed “moderate” friend.

“Wow, imagine a Warren-Nader ticket!”

That's what we don't want, regulators openly polticized while also pursuing a Nader-fascistic agenda that no doubt would include federal corporate charters, more federal officials embedded in corporations, and all kinds of lunacy like “social responsibility,” “Israel divestiture,” and leftist political platforms specified in annual reports of corporations.

That Warren is at odds with smucks like Geithner and others at Treasury, on the other hand, is okay.

Elizabeth Warren is one the brightest, most aticulate and honest voices eminating from Washington, Cambridge or wherever she happens to be. Her views and explanations should be mandatory reading/listening to anyone concerned with our nation's economy.

"Chapter 11 is a new concept, not available to any other forms of business. It allows a business to screw it's creditors without "dying." We, as individuals, can't do that."

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a form of bankruptcy reorganization available to individuals, corporations and partnerships.

Yes, it does. Although we have been told that government is bad for business, isn't it odd when business runs to government for help? Be that TARP, or be that the GM bailout or be that “Chapter 11.”

Chapter 11 is a new concept, not available to any other forms of business. It allows a business to screw it's creditors without “dying.” We, as individuals, can't do that. This is but only one example how corporations have more rights than natural born people.

“Financial Product Safety Commission,” on its face, is a very stupid name.

On the other hand, her review of TARP represents real good being done. (It made news here in Detroit.)

“Orwellian to limit borrowing when excessive, under-capitalized, over-extended lending is what brought capitalism to near total collapse”

Of course. Even the basics are wrong here. The reform should be directed at the lending (the lenders).

I think that it is positively Huxleian “in the year of our Ford” to allow corporations to allow excessive undercapitaization to bring our country to it's knees. But that is what happened.
