Gensler’s Personal Email Use Triggers Hill Inquiry

Now, THIS is indeed ironic.  CFTC Chairman Gensler stepped aside and recused himself since he and alleged swindler Jon Corzine were former colleagues at Goldman Sachs.

You may remember Corzine, Mr. "I don't know what happened", when $1.6 billion of aggregated client funds went missing just days prior to the collapse of MF Global, of which he was Chairman of.  Corzine was never prosecuted, probably due to the fact that he was a former New Jersey Senator, New Jersey Governor, and oh, by the way, was President Obama's leading fund raiser on Wall Street during his 2008 campaign.

I guess Gensler forgot the NSA can monitor all cell phone calls and all emails, inside or outside corporate intranets.  lol

Pelosi believes unemployment insurance creates jobs

Unemployment benefits may help the unemployed survive until they do find another job, but in no way is it stimulative to the economy, nor is it a "job creator." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi labels unemployment insurance as somehow ideal for an economy.

Madame Speaker: if unemployment insurance is so beneficial to our economy, why doesn't everyone quit their job and the government can pay each unemployed worker $100,000? Surely, that will stimulate the economy. In fact, if it is so successful, why doesn't the Federal government just write each of us a check for $1 million? Because if it is good in smaller amounts, why not just write a bigger check to all of us?

This is just one of many examples of madness on Capitol Hill.
