We appreciate cemnomts at the Virginian Federalist. The fact that Senator Schumer was restraining action by the SEC to regulate people like Madoff while takng campaign contributions from Madoff does not seem to be related to your mention of banking regulation. Mr Madoff ran a securities firm not a bank.Nevertheless your comment bears review. The 30-1 capitalization requirements are an outgrowth of the Basel I and Basel II bank regulatory regimes. These regimes were adopted in 1988 and 2003 when in the first instance Democrats controlled Congress and in the second instance when Republicans controlled Congress. The coincidence of party control seems to be irrelevant because the Basel I and II regimes are not treaties subject to Senate consent, nor are they implemented by rules from the Treasury. Instead they are implemented by regulatory actions of the Federal Reserve Bank not directly under the control of the congress or the president.

Most shoppers LOVE their boxed and freozn fare. I am a bit of an anomaly. There is no soda or Velveeta in my cart! I purposely shop the perimeter of the store for meats, dairy and produce with a few conveniences (bread, cereal) thrown in. This forces me to cook from scratch and menu plan whether I feel like it or not. You can even find coupons for healthier options.
