   I don’t know anything about this congressman, but he really seems to believe that if you say “transparency” or claim that you’re reducing risk, then it just magically happens. Dylan and crew were pressing hard, and the congress guy didn’t like it, but I say tough titty. He ought to have his story straight and that story better be close to airtight. Obviously his wasn’t. Like Obama, he just says the magic words he thinks you want to hear, but where’s the beef, congressman?

   Who told this congressman, by the way, that “these institutions” can’t be wound down?! Did he or his staff do any, like, research on this? Obviously not. Chris Whalen, give this guy a call. He’s bought the Geither-Berrnanke narrative, hook, line and sinker.

   And he really thinks they’re being “aggressive” with the banks?! And that they’re not reproducing the status quo? Jeesh. I know Dylan tends to drone on and on and talk over people, but he’s the only one in that conversation who knew what he was talking about.
