Mitch McConnell: Dodd Frank Finance Reform Is Obamacare for Banks

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Lady Libertine
I went to Louisville last week to ask Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to elaborate on how he would “go after” Democrats on financial services, as he told donors at the June Koch brothers retreat he would do if Republicans take control of the Senate, in audio released by The Undercurrent in August. McConnell doubled-down on those remarks, calling the Dodd Frank financial reform bill “Obamacare for Banks.” Check out my exchange with him here…

Banks and the financial industry have contributed $5.3 million to Senator McConnell's campaign committee--more than any other member of Congress.

Hope you will watch all of the video, especially the last part. Very telling in where/how he will achieve goals re his priorities.

Good news for Alison -- things are looking good as :McConnell Reeling After 2 Biggest Newspapers In Kentucky Endorse Alison Lundergan Grimes

The Lexington Herald-Leader’s editorial board wrote,
McConnell does have power. He commands a perpetual-motion money machine; dollars flow in, favors flow out.
The problem is how McConnell uses his power. He has repeatedly hurt the country to advance his political strategy.

McConnell has sabotaged jobs and transportation bills, even as Kentucky’s unemployment exceeds the nation’s and an Interstate 75 bridge crumbles over the Ohio River. He blocked tax credits for companies that move jobs back to this country while preserving breaks for those that move jobs overseas. He opposed extending unemployment benefits, while bemoaning the “jobless” recovery. He brags about resolving crises that he helped create.
The Senate may never recover from the bitter paralysis McConnell has inflicted through record filibusters that allow his minority to rule by obstruction.
….
Kentuckians can’t do much to stop a Supreme Court majority that’s enabling the corrosion of our democracy by unlimited, secret contributions, in court cases bearing McConnell’s stamp.
Kentuckians can send a powerful message on Nov. 4 and carve out a better future by retiring McConnell and making Grimes their senator.

That's a hell of a lot of money. He'll have to personally serve them coffee if they ever show up at his office... and maybe a BJ if requested.
