Private equity and Wall Street want in on the action. It is really what it boils down to. There will be virtual implicit guarantees that they will get bailed out if they go belly up. It doesn't matter how screwed up their books or risk-taking are. They won't go to jail—just cash checks and pay a small fine.
I would be willing to bet he’s fired more senior officials that were his own noms than any other president. Some people think that’s a good thing, but I think it’s a sign of being a terrible judge of talent.
The opportunity to raise rates on a captive target market with an implicit government guarantee: the results will eventually be another S&L Crisis replay with the tax payers bailing out the culprits and no one goes to jail. Cue up quotes from Willy Sutton, H.L. Mencken, and P.T Barnum.

That's a nice way of discouraging high level R4 stem students from applying for immigration. Kick them out when they try to come back for their studies that they have been participating in here.
