Wall Street Wielding Campaign Cash to Fight Off Regulation Efforts

Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 3:18pm.

The Wall Street Journal reports that after taking a brief respite while receiving government bail-outs, Wall Street is upping their campaign giving and lobbying efforts to fight off finance industry regulation efforts in Congress.

 

"The renewed assault on Washington comes as the Capitol Hill debate begins on a broad overhaul of financial-services regulations that is strongly backed by President Barack Obama and opposed by large swaths of the finance industry. The spending could also heighten tensions with Mr. Obama, who as recently as Tuesday called on Wall Street to stop lobbying against the proposed regulations."

Obama should handle Wall Street with a more tactful manner. That is a humble opinion on my part.

I wish that the federal budget will be spend on its purpose and the budget department should avoid exorbitant spending in order to eliminate the cases of budget deficit. Did you know that the economy has made real estate a horror show, but if you have the credit or the cash, you can find a great deal with the foreclosure housing market, as banks are looking for a way to divest property for cash. Areas with higher rates of foreclosure, such as California, are a good place for foreclosure auctions, or debt consolidation if you want to move to a cheaper home.
