what specifically about that interveiw dont you like? what did he say that you disagree with?
government has no business price-fixing. i know it technically wouldn't be price-fixing because he didn't say anything about any official legislation, but let's be real here, they don't need to enact new legislation these days, they just do what they want when they want.
don't get me wrong, fuck BofA, and the rest of them too, but as long as they're privately run then government has no business telling them how to operate. If BofA wants to shoot themselves in the foot then they should have the freedom to do it. You can't legislate business practice any more than you can legislate morality. (even though they do both of those things on a regular basis, but is the outcome ever positive? not from what I can see)
government has been involved in price-fixing for a long time, but what bothers me about this particular interview is that it's just more proof that unconstitutionality is becoming more and more normal and acceptable to society. the way he's so casual and arrogant when he talks about doing something unconstitutional.
I think that by defending Barry's stance on this, you're forgetting what the constitutional role of government should be, and you're getting caught up in the same trap that the libs are caught in. Just remember that NOTHING that goes on between banks and government is EVER in your best interest.
