The next big one is right around the corner [1]

Here's another piece of the puzzle.

Senator Barney Frank and Senator Dodd passed a bill to prevent the housing bubble from ever happening again. That is H.R.4173 - Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 111th Congress (2009-2010).

It was working great, but then...enter Trump with the full Republican backing. First term, we see the Frank /Dodd bill repealed. There was saliva dripping from the fangs of big banks.



Enter Biden for 4 years. Time has passed. The repeal has been working silently in the background. And the Democrats do nothing about the repeal. In the same way they did nothing about George W. Bush repealing the regulation of energy in 2005. A repeal that has cost the American consumer double the cost of energy for over twenty years now. What does that add up to for you at the pump and home? Did you ever hear a conservative blame president Biden for the price at the pump during his term in office?

Current day: I saw this week and last, journalism covering 'recession concerns' and direct inferences to another housing bubble growing. JP Morgan Stanley has in the past month put their name on the line predicting recession by the end of the year. I can't help but feel this recession may make the Great recession look like child's play.

If one thing is certain in life, cause and effect is reality. The Democrats passed this bill 69 to 30 in the senate. It had overwhelming support after George W. Bush drove the country into the 'Great Recession'. 4 million homes were repossessed by banks on bad loans in one year alone. It was a feast of consumers blood, sweat, and tears. 800,000 jobs lost the final month of the president's term. We all watched 'Too big to fail' rob our bank accounts. Few Republicans hoping to remain in office dared to vote it down.

So just how do you get an apathetic public who are not paying attention to the details? Not even watching the news because it's all too disturbing to their peace of mind? How do you get their attention? Why do the Democrats not force feed the public these facts loud and clear? Do they really think popularity contests with zero substance is the way? Can finger pointing and fault finding solve Americas problems?

Yes, we are on our way to a collapse if a party doesn't address and reach the remote corners of this country with the truth. The truth about the failures of past governing bodies. Because the American public is the only institution that can offer any hope at all. The American public is responsible for their own demise. They don't have a party who actually are looking out for them. They need one. They want one. And this party must stand for something that Americans can find hope for a future for themselves. Because right now, no one is. No one but a new party that is rising. The Landing party. This party I believe may be the answer that 236 years have led up to. Do watch them. They want to help.

H.R.4173 - Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 111th Congress (2009-2010)

Title I: Financial Stability - Financial Stability Act of 2010 - Subtitle A: Financial Stability Oversight Council - (Sec. 111)
