Cenk hosting today.  New proposals in Congress that would loosen restrictions even further on banks.  The language was written by bank lobbyists, of course.  Average CEO pay continues to break records.  Lanny Breuer, whose job was to prosecute bankers, explained why he didn’t pursue these criminals & outlined that he’s worried about other banks coming to get him for taking down their cohorts.

 

Analogy about drug dealers being prosecuted while bankers walk free for their crimes.  A bridge in Washington state collapsed last evening.  It was on a list of bridges labeled “functionally obsolete.”  All of the state’s bridges get a grade of C-.  The debate over whether or not tornado relief for Oklahoma should be offset by spending cuts before funds are administered.  Sen Tom Coburn called it typical Washington B.S.  Talk about the lack of safe rooms or tornado shelters in Moore, OK.

 

The new Pope Francis has declared that Atheists can make it into Heaven.  House Republicans passed a bill that would cause students rates to go up over time.  The DCCC created a simple ad pointing out their attack on students with loans.  Elizabeth Warren proposed that students pay what we comically charge the banks, a rate of .75%.  Conservatives lost their minds at this reasonable proposal.  Bernie Sanders proposed allowing his state of Vermont to label foods with GMOs, but was greeted with lies and manipulation in opposition by paid off senators.  Progress report of states that are pursuing an amendment to get money out of politics.
