Feingold says won't vote to advance Wall Street bill
WASHINGTON
Mon Jun 28, 2010 5:27pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Russell Feingold said on Monday that he will not vote to advance the financial-reform bill, denying his fellow Democrats the 60th vote they need to clear a final hurdle in Congress.

"My test for the financial regulatory reform bill is whether it will prevent another crisis," Feingold said in a prepared statement. The bill "fails that test and for that reason I will not vote to advance it."

You extrapolated from it that I would welcome a depression because it would lead to socialism...r u kiddin' me?

So, I guess I was wrong.
Yes, I sincerely hope so.

Also, that said, a serious depression could even lead to the opposite of 'pure socialism', eventually.
