Writer's Block: Federal Regulatory Overhaul for the Financial Industry
More than anything else, the rules and regulations in place need to be examined and determined how effective they are in maintaining financial system stability and security. Should we regulate away growth? Of course not. Should we not have any regulation on exotic derivatives (as the current system treats them)? Of course not. More than ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Protecting America from another financial catastrophe
1. Better regulation of the shadow banking system. Derivatives, securitization, credit default swaps, etc have a viable place in the modern financial system. But they are currently unregulated (neither gambling nor a security). That needs to be fixed.
2. Actually following the regulations in place. The list of alphabet soup government agencies ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Customizable Party
1. Fiscal Responsibility. If that means higher taxes, get the fuck over it. If it means less social welfare, get the fuck over it.
2. Tolerance. If that means gay marriage, get the fuck over it. If that means upholding Roe v. Wade, get the fuck over it.
3. Regulation. For twenty years Wall Street bitched and moaned about the need for free ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Your Online Hot Spots
In terms of clicks and visits, probably my Stetson email and facebook.
In terms of minutes spent on the pages, probably the blogs I follow. Only b/c they are very word intense. And staring at a computer screen makes my head spin. -
Writer's Block: Your Favorite Series: One Last Go Round
Rob and Big. Because that shit was just funny. Or the old style House, with Cameron, Chase and Foreman. Because that was actually about medicine, with House's douchebagishness as an aside. Now its fucking drama left and right. But since it was never cancelled, it is perhaps not an appropriate answer.
