Wrong, Dems have 60 votes, if Lieberman and Sanders, the latter an avowed socialist, votes yea. Moderate Dems do not really exist, the lesson of the Health Care fiasco, yet another statist wish list achievement.
They got 60 on HCR, and they can with this with enough vote buying.
So they can cut off debate, and end filibusters. And with the negative ,ood toward Wall Street and dumb voters, it is easy to sell.
Ironically, big boys will have exemptions, when only THEY can take down companies in bear raids by spending millions, while the gap between rich and poor will WIDEN not lessen.
And voters think Dems are about little people and narrowing the gap between the haves and have nots, LOL.
Just as the PDT rules of 25K+ only to day trade, the higher the restrictions, the more lesser funded players are eliminated as competition for big playa's, like hedge funds, etc.
So, we retail day traders with less than 500K accounts will be destroyed overnight, while the big boy shorts with mega million funding and equally large position sizes who DID have some bearing on the taking down of financial stocks in the crisis of 2008 WILL NOT be affected to the same degree.
Just as when the SEC bans and penalizes insider trading, if you or I do it, we do not have the same inside infor they do and even if we did, we could not pay the fines if caught, so the risk reward is not there. But a big 'playa can, because a paltry 250K fine is nothing compared to the leveraged bonuses if their huge insider info plays pan out, etc.
But people never seem to learn...
