FTA: "But as became clear at Thursday’s hearing by the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, a close reading of the law the president signed provides no limit on the growth of OFR’s budget, nor on the taxes the agency can impose on big banks to fund it."

I am speechless - they passed yet another law creating yet another .gov agency this time with no freaking kongressional oversight? Mussolini treatment for all of 'em!!!!

and Issa is where? He's the House Oversight Committee Chair,.....how is this possible?  Maybe I'm missing something.... :-\

Where's Grassley? The equivalent in the Senate?

At what point does tar & feathering become popular again?

We can say stuff like that and get by with it, however Uncle Ted got investigated for no purpose what so ever.  With that going on you are surprised by this.

When the sheeple turn off "Dancing with the Stars" and grow a set of balls.
Don't hold your breath.
Considering his Muslim upbringing, terrorist associates, and suspicious trip to Pakistan Obama should not be on the ballot, he should be on the terror watch list.

FTA:

Toward that end, OFR was invested with virtually unlimited subpoena power. It can compel just about any company in America to turn over to the federal government sensitive internal data, even proprietary information.

That's just as scary, from a true power perspective, as the rest of it......as in, "We can cripple/destroy you."

This would never pass a constitutional muster IMO!

Someone just has to begin the proceedings...
