The actual effects of Dodd-Frank Finance Bill<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to raise fees on our customers, but unfortunately, regulation is forcing us to do it, and as a result, some customers may end up unbanked,\u201d said a Chase spokeswoman. Bank industry executives have said the new regulations will squeeze low-income customers out of traditional banking, sending them to high-fee alternatives like check cashers and payday lenders.<\/p>\n

Alan Caruba nails it shut<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As far as the rest of the world\u2019s movers and shakers are concerned, Obama is little more than a charming cocktail party guest with little to offer than small talk and leftist bromides.<\/p>\n

Only one thing is certain. Obama will be running for re-election the minute he returns to Washington, but he is going to need more than his former vacuous \u201chope and change\u201d motto and there is small chance of that. In a very real way, the nation has already moved beyond him.<\/p>\n

When I see Obama these days, I think of Jimmy Carter, a pathetic former president soundly rejected by the voters, the \u201cauthor\u201d of endless, largely unread books, and grateful that anyone takes notice of him.<\/p>\n

When you see Jimmy Carter today, you\u2019re looking at Barack Obama in fifteen or twenty years.<\/p>\n

There is not a man in the country that can\u2019t make a living for himself and family. But he can\u2019t make a living for them *and* his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest here, JFK would be labeled a far right extremist \u201cteabagger\u201d by today\u2019s \u201cliberals\u201d. \u00a0 The democrat party has moved way far to the extreme left, right into socialism territory.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
