House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has a hard on.
It’s not about the HCR Bill, nor is it even about President Obama. In his own words, Boehner told a crowd of bankers at the American Bankers Association government relations summit:
“Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,” Boehner said. “All of us are hearing from our friends and constituents on lack of credit, you can’t get a loan, the more your government takes and taxes, the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers.”
Newsflash for Boehner: Bankers aren’t lending right now, despite record low interest rates. The one group they are especially not lending to? Small Businesses.
Allow me to translate for Boehner. Here is what he is really saying:
"Don’t let punk Americans get a piece of your pie! Don’t you dare let them! Who are they to tell you what to do with their money? And don’t loan any money to Small Businesses, no matter how low the rates are! Why would you reward small businesses, when they are guilty for this entire recession, and guilty of almost destroying the world’s economy with their hard work and frugal spending habits? Give the money to yourselves, instead! That way you’ll have more money available to you at no interest rate to buy more politicians…like me!" (Boehner has received $3.4 Million from the banking industry over his career).
Now, if you are a conservative, of course, you are free to comment on this post. But don’t come here thinking that Boehner is your friend, and only wants to do what is right for America. He is COMPLETELY bought by bankers; his every word says it. He is for protecting the people who caused the financial meltdown, and against helping you. He wants no regulatory reform at all. He thinks things are fine the way they are…never mind that Wall Street and Banks too big to fail are engaged in the exact same practices that caused the last meltdown. Boehner doesn’t want you to look at that. Never mind that because of American citizen money, these morons were bailed out, and their industry has recovered nicely, while Main Street remains mired in a recession. Never mind that Banks are guaranteed up to 90% of anything they loan through the SBA; they still aren’t budging.
They have no excuse for not lending money. Small Businesses weren’t the ones reneging on their creditors. Nope, it was the big banks and AIG who did that. And how does the Fed punish them for that? By giving them interest free loans.
John Boehner is a plutocrat, and he is trying desperately to make plutocracy safe for America. You can’t spin this any other way. He wants to turn his back on the meltdown, and hopes it happens again.
That’s John Boehner. That’s the Republican House Minority Leader. I couldn’t make this shit up in a hundred years. Only someone as evil and greedy as John Boehner could ignore what banks did to America, and then demand that no reform bill be passed.
John Boehner, Axis of Evil leader.

WTF? What a big fat whopping lie that is! I mean, even for boehner.
I think the last couple of years have proven just the opposite: less regulation is MORE cost.
