Once again, the puppets on Capitol Hill are about to slam the Muppets on Main Street. The country still hasn’t recovered from the Wall Street-induced financial cataclysm of 2008, yet Congress is preparing to enact the Orwellian ‘JOBS Act’ – a bill that should in fact be called the ‘Return Fraud to Wall Street in One Easy Step Act.’ Eliot Spitzer Read Quote

This would have a remarkable impact on both violence and the capacity to solve shooting crimes. Eliot Spitzer Read Quote
