Harry Reid got it right when he said that the GOP is “making love to Wall Street” – and when politicians and bankers “make love” it’s the public that gets screwed. Sen. Shelby’s so-called “consumer protection amendment” failed, as expected.(!) But what happens next? Progressives have captured the public mood and are changing the dynamic in Washington. It’s time to capitalize on the momentum and press for the best reform possible.
Progressives, take a bow. Then keep on fighting.
