You have to give Chuck Schumer credit. He is trying to solve New York and the country’s problems as fast as possible and he is consistent. A day after calling for more money for struggling dairy farmers and more money for flood victims in Western NY, Schumer has a plan to avoid a Bernie repeat.
“A major part of the SEC’s problem is that its annual budget is lacking in resources,” said Schumer, a senior member of the banking committee that oversees the SEC.
“I am proposing that we fundamentally alter the way the SEC is funded … I am introducing legislation next week, when we get back to Washington, so the SEC can use fees from institutions it regulates to fund its necessary operations.”
Who cares if there is an expensive tie that binds the three plans together? Maybe Chuck took a look at what’s going on in Yankee Stadium this season and figured if throwing money at a problem works for Joe Girardi, it could work for the entire nation. But if history is any guide, given that King Ponz was once reportedly on the short list to head the SEC, Schumer better be satisfied going 2 for 3.
Huh?
Greg,
Please stop.
Your Mom
PS, on the way home, would yoube a doll and pick up my Valium and Poppers?
Greg, you are the human incarnation of a balk.
Fuck ya’ll crackers.
Have you seen my baseball?

Greg, I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the thought process behind some of the posts you have made on this fine website. In the past twenty days you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved DealBreaker and reduce it to an embarrassment.
3,
You mean ‘personification,’ correct?
@6 not if you read the posts by the other writer.
@6 the amount of time you just took to write that comment is the embarrassment.
daniel harrison vs. greg michaels. who’s worse?
these tedious posts never get old
@7
Yes, seeing as that’s what “human incarnation” means.

12,
I would like to connect your eyebrows with a sharpie while whistling Tony Dixon, and rubbing hand sanitizer on the back of my elbows.

Fuck me is it Friday yet? I was trolling around in the archives and just read Dealbreaker’s Privacy Policy start to finish. I feel pretty safe and like a gigantic toolshed.

This post IS a little baroque. Maybe Greg was feeling good about the Yankees & there’s not much more to it than that.
The actual narrative here seems to be Mary Schapiro one step closer to real independence from Congress. It would be interesting to hear Timmay’s uncensored thoughts.
@Jeff Macke guy — you are a deliiiiigggghhhhht! If your posts had an adjective to describe them, it would be “scrumptralescent.”
Greg,
What was your job before DB? PWM Analyst at Jefferies?
Greg, I’m going to make a baseball bat disappear using no magic, lots of petroleum jelly, and you as an assistant.

Always good stuff there (sometimes), but pretty sure its based on the left coast so alota times nothing until noonish.
I am introducing legislation next week, when we get back to Washington, so the SEC can use fees from institutions it regulates to fund its necessary operations.”
So we’re going to make the SEC financially dependent on the institutions it’s supposed to police. Yeah, that’ll work. No conflict of interest there, nosiree.
Fucking Schumer. The brains that God gave canned dogfood.
