Fineman isn't mine so much either. I've disagreed a number of times with him. But on this, he is clear as a bell and easy to grasp.

But I don't completely agree with Green on this issue, except until the end of the article. I just can't compare Obama to Hoover at all, they are so very different. The responding comments express better than I can, why.

BUT, it was Obama who got it passed, right? Isoldeblue Apr 2013 #36
