I know geeting works for one of these so called "nonpartisan" non-profits but seriously, there has to be other sources for his liberal propoganda. So, according to Geeting, we are supposed to "check [our] facts" from a group that is dedicated to "creating a long-term, progressive vision for America."<br /><br />Is this where Callahan is getting his talking points from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-63350279479571323282010-06-15T10:29:00.545-04:002010-06-15T10:29:00.545-04:00Jon,I don't know you but I think your post was...Jon,I don't know you but I think your post was not only on the money but the link you gave quantifies it!<br />Corporate welfare at it's finest and I for one am sick of it. Consumer protection what a joke,and that's why even folks on welfare are charged fee's at some banks to withdraw the little money they do get! Greed And please don't even bring up credit cards,I know people who have had to run up thousands of dollars in credit card debt in an attempt to keep their homes!!!Nice postSandra Walters Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672761092660683449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-65886638733707942012010-06-15T09:44:06.391-04:002010-06-15T09:44:06.391-04:00"You assert as fact that the resolution autho...<em>"You assert as fact that the resolution authority provision (bank tax) would decrease access to credit.

That is <a href="http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2010/04/29/gop-bank-tax-should/" rel="nofollow">flat out false</a>. Check your facts. The real question is why doesn't Charlie Dent support making banks pay for their own bailouts? Anybody promising you bailout-free governance is a liar. But that doesn't mean the TARP program was the only way to structure the bailout, especially with regard to consumer protections. Charlie Dent not only didn't care about consumer protections, but he voted against adding them later, and he's still taken the banks' position on every single issue in the Wall Street reform debate - bank tax, consumer protection, the ridiculous exemption for auto loans (the second largest kind of debt Americans have), breaking up the largest banks. On every one of those issues, Dent is on the banks' side when he should be standing with his constituents. Clearly he is seeing his negatives shooting up in his internal polling and is desperate to divert attention away from the fact that he's about to vote against common sense Wall Street reform with the rest of the Republicans. He cares more about getting reelected than making sure that we don't have another financial crisis.Jon Geetinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016281689989655259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-6039417420383080222010-06-15T07:37:01.277-04:002010-06-15T07:37:01.277-04:00JC will know how to vote when peloski tells him.
