I am not able to vote for that position. My knowledge of the individuals looking for the job is scant at best. The machine analogy is apt as it weighs too many variables, has way too many moving parts and only accepts insiders.

I agree but the party needs to have the balls to recognize them and embrace them warts and all. The party machine is also broken.

Is this really a price control? Capping interest on cards sounds more like evening out access. Collusion is a rule in setting prices in most large service markets not the exception. Collusion is perhaps little much but the guys on top have actuaries and accountants that know when we fart.

The reality of homelessness is not one of funding it is about political will to address the underlying problems. The politicians interests are not about the people but about the corporate profit of their corporate citizens... can you say Citizens United?
