Congress Lets Big Banks Resume Risky Trades Rolling Back Financial Reforms Enacted To Prevent Another Financial Crisis
Featuring
Timothy A. Canova, Professor of Law and Public Finance, Shepard Broad Law Center, Nova Southeastern University
The big banks attached a measure to must-pass Congressional spending legislation which halts a restriction on the kinds of risky derivatives trading that blew up the US economy in 2007. It allows the banksters to gamble not only with other people s money but with taxpayer guarantees for their losses. This is only the beginning of their planned roll back of financial reforms passed to prevent another financial crisis. Liberal democrats responded by calling for the breaking up the too big to fail banks, but is this really enough? Do we need to nationalize banks?
Plus
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' Senate speech railed against the big banks' Congressional maneuver easing restrictions on risky derivatives trading and called for breaking up the "too big to fail" big banks.

BAD SANTA â Stick this one in your stocking!
The Christmas season just got a lot less joyous in this very dark comedy. Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) is a con man and a thief who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox), a midget, for a very special scam each year during the holiday season. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, his pal tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to crack mall security and rob stores blind just before Christmas. However, thereâs one flaw to this plan â Willie is a bitter, foul-mouthed and perpetually grouchy alcoholic who doesnât care for kids, and itâs all he can do to keep himself from getting fired while on the job. The mallâs manager (John Ritter, in his last film appearance) is certain somethingâs wrong with the Santa heâs hired, so he asks the mallâs chief of security (Bernie Mac) to do some research on Willie. Meanwhile, one of the kids Willie is forced to talk to becomes a regular customer; overweight, awkward, and the frequent target of bullies, the boy manages to arouse something like sympathy from Willie, who tries to give him some advice and develops something vaguely resembling Christmas spirit along the way. Listen as we each leave our take on this one as well as our Top 3 âPathetic Kidsâ in movies.
