Question by Ashley V: How does House Democrats push new comprehensive immigration bill relate to politics? Hi, I was wondering how this article relates to public opinions, political parties, politics, media, campaign or elections. Please help me on this one. Thank You A broad cross-section of House Democrats unveiled a new comprehensive immigration reform bill Tuesday, laying down an early marker for what they hope will be a major 2010 debate. More than 80 co-sponsors have already signed on to the legislation, which is authored by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and titled the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, or “CIR ASAP” for short. The bill includes provisions strengthening border security, creating a streamlined employment verification system, altering the visa program to promote the reunification of families and establishing a commission to recommend changes to the current system of H-1B and H-2B visas for skilled wo More...

Question by _______: Did Obama basically admit Democrats watered down their own healthcare bill with this statement? Apparently “behind closed doors” (the place where the healthcare bill was written) is where industry lobbyists (ie PhRMA etc.) do their magic and “water down” what is supposed to be reform legislation. What do you think?? Did Obama admit Democrats watered down their own reform bill?? If not, why was it ok to craft healthcare “reform” behind closed doors but not financial “reform”?? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100426/ap_on_bi_ge/us_financial_overhaul Following the vote, the president said he was “deeply disappointed” and urged Senators to put the interests of the country ahead of party. “Some of these senators may believe that this obstruction is a good political strategy, and others may see delay as an opportunity to take this debate behind closed doors, where financial industry lobbyists can water down r More...

by Locator Question by Helicopter Ben woo woo!: Why do Democrats support a “reform” bill that gives Wall St banks a quasi-monopoly but refuse to Audit the Fed? REAL financial reform would be an audit of the Federal Reserve, not a corporatist bill that gives more power to the Federal Reserve. Even liberal talking heads like Ed Schultz and Dylan Ratigan agree this proposal by Democrats is a joke. @ Billy Blaze: Politico quoted a Goldman lobbyist Monday saying, “We’re not against regulation. We’re for regulation. We partner with regulators.” At least three times in Goldman’s conference call Tuesday, spokesmen trumpeted the firm’s support for more federal control. Goldman reported on the conference call that it holds 15 percent “Tier 1 capital,” meaning it is very liquid and not very risky. Goldman can play it safe, you see, without needing a regulation. But regulations prevent smaller competitors from taking the risks needed to More...

Question by The MobFather: Liberals, what do you think about this little “gem” tucked away in the Finance “Reform” Bill ( Frank-Dodd)? So much for transparency. Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act. The law, signed last week by President Obama, exempts the SEC from disclosing records or information derived from “surveillance, risk assessments, or other regulatory and oversight activities.” Given that the SEC is a regulatory body, the provision covers almost every action by the agency, lawyers say. Congress and federal agencies can request information, but the public cannot. That argument comes despite the President saying that one of the cornerstones of the sweeping new legislation was more transparent financial m More...
