It has opened up a lot more natural gas that just a few years ago was planned to be running out by now. Mind you it is not a solution for the long term but sure is a way for us to get a bridge to new renewable resources.

“stress tests” to evaluate whether or not the largest U.S.
bank holding companies “continue to meet supervisory
expectations for capital adequacy.”

I believe this has been one of most misleading deeds our government has done. Yes, things might of been worst financially for the Nation, but besides banks getting bigger, how did it help the everyday Joe?

The one thing that increased the distrust f the government might have come from the TARP Act and seeing little to no relief for many losing their homes, or having home underwater!
