So, Obama thinks Wall Street is 50% of the economy?

I'd like to see where he gets this info.

He wants the private sector to not play as big of a role as it has in the past.

No, he's not a socialist.

LOL. So il Pad things Wall Street is 100% of private sector? I'd like to see where he gets this info. No, he's not a socialist. He's not a Muslim.

But assuming you're serious, il Pad, this means he is reining in the Oligarchs. Finance cannot drive prosperity. Sectors like Silicon Valley that really increase our standard of living by making things more efficient can.

"I actually think that's healthy. We don't want every single college grad with mathematical aptitude to become a derivatives trader. We want some of them to go into engineering, and we want some of them to be going into computer design."

Rock on, Mr. President!

Hats off to you for driving prosperity in this country. But that's a straw man because politicians (and I despise them too) aren't gonna make that decision. They're gonna erect regulations that will make Wall Street careers less lucrative.

I think it's a bad precedent for politicians to start decide who should go into what career.

No kidding, but politicians can send a signal to the talented, "We're gonna regulate this industry to prevent more bubbles and the creation of paper wealth. Consider using your talent elsewhere."

On the contrary, Cali., you condescending fuck.

All of these are transitive properties:

If A=B and B=C, then A=C
If A<>=B and B<>=C then A>=C
If A<>B and B<>C then A<>C

You've now earned the dishonor of being the first and only person I've ever ignored. Put Obama's dick back in your mouth as that is where it obviously belongs you piece of shit.
