Napolitano: Financial reform will "destroy jobs and destroy our economy even further"

Ben Stein..wow.Is this an older clip?If not,it sounds and looks familiar.

Yup, because we should just all act like the recession of 2008 never happened. Banks went without regulations and had NOTHING to do with destroying employment globally. Nothing at all.

This is more than pure advocacy by Napolitano. It's pure blind belief in an ideology without the ability to ever see fault in one's way. This is dangerous.

See all those American Petroleum Institute Commercials, where "every day Americans" who don't mind reading off of cue cards for a few extra bucks bleat talking points about how HORRIBLE it would be if energy companies had to pay something close to a reasonable tax rate? That's what Napolitano's BS reminds me of.

No matter what, we must NOT 1) let the Bush tax cuts expire, 2) regulate industry, or do anything that seems on the surface to be a common sense step toward fixing the economy.

Sadly, even Obama's "reform" bill is devoid of any trust busting measures (let's face it, Too Big to Fail is a synonym for monopoly), efforts to stop derivatives trading and credit-default swaps, and regulations prohibiting the mergers of investment banks with depository banks. The banks are still floating hundreds of billions of dollars worth of debt and toxic assets that the bailouts have only managed to veil. The bailouts were merely a band-aid for our systemic cancer.

The only good thing to come out of that pathetic financial bill is a consumer protection agency. But in all honesty, even if Elizabeth Warren is made chair, she doesn't have the power to prevent another economic collapse.

We're back to where we were right after the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed, except this time we're trillions in the hole. The economy will crash again, but not because of anything Napolitano believes. God, I WISH financial reform was as extreme as these fools keep claiming it is.

Trust him, he's a judge. ;)

Today, Fox Lies own poll shows 74% of their respondents say McCain would have made the economy worse, or no better. What would their plan entail, other than kowtowing to the rich and their minions? If Bush's bs tax cuts were so great, why has the economy tanked with them in place? They should bring Varney's lying behind on. He can explain how stimulus funds have gone to blacks to buy large screen tv's and beer in upstate NY. Do a search and see what I'm talking about. The truth has no bearing on these people's thought process, it matters not how many times they are exposed as liars. Republicans first and americans only to cash in and ripoff the rest of us.

Prove it ! with numbers and logic.

These morons fail to understand that to enforce laws against fraud, you needs the regulators to catch the criminals. Duh.

Until these jokers ADMIT that Bush/Cheney screwed the economy (among many other things) and that they are complicit, I will not listen to a whimper of what they have to say.

bush = tax breaks for the RICH = TODAYS ECONOMY!!! ( THATS ALL FOLKS) WAKE UP AMERICA, THE RICH DONE VERY WELL,WHILE THE REST ARE STRUGGLING, THANKS TO THE, bush!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy had been Fox's pitbull lately. I guess they pay on a scale of who will tell the biggest slimeball lies.
