...Dems now want some sort of excise tax on transactions which will raise REAL BIG DOLLARS to pay for bridges, clean energy subsidies and childrens health, morning doves, apple pie, mom, etc...

Now, this presents us with a very nice opportunity to examine the left wing economic mind set;

Ignore bridges, clean energy subsidies, kids, mom, apple pie and doves because tax increases are tough on re-election prospects. Demand Wall Street make risky home loans. Give Wall Street lax regulation so they can conjure up some schemes to cover their loses. Demonize and give money to Wall Street to bail them out when schemes collapse. Tax Wall Street, the money you just gave them, to fix bridges, subsidize clean energy, doves, pi, mom, etc.

Constituents, the people who can vote your ass out, are circumvented!
