Who’s to blame for ‘too big to fail’?

11 October 2009 · 1 Comment

The following 155 current members of Congress can be thanked directly for their support of FSMA; indeed, each of them voted in favor of this act ten years ago. When compared to the amount of de facto kickbacks they have received through 2008 – from the financial industry – we can draw the conclusion that, from the big banks’ point of view, this was money well spent. Readers are urged to contact every Congressperson and Senator listed here (as many times as you feel is necessary) to demand the repeal of FSMA. Kindly remind them that this will influence the outcome of all upcoming elections, particularly in 2010. You should also demand an immediate Congressional inquiry into the reports of Mr. Christopher Story FRSA.
