Anti Speculation Bill [On President's Desk]

[MaxQue]

Abstain for now

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nay

I don't like the moral hazzard caused by Section 2. There has to be risk of failure otherwise the banks will get lazy and greedy, a deadly combination.

I encourage Afleitch to answer Badger because I too am curious.

I don't think theres anything 'curious' about it. I'm an economic conservative. I oppose the Tobin Tax. I even posted about opposing it in real life (as Gordon Brown floated the idea) here;

[Marokai Backbeat]

4 Nays, 3 Abstaining, 2 Ayes. Bill is currently failing. 24 notice to change your votes.

I was a little hesitant to declare this as failing with three abstentions but I guess that's the way the die rolled on this one.

[Hash]

Abstain ftr!

[Fritz]

I change my vote to Aye.

[MaxQue]

I change my vote to Aye too

[Marokai Backbeat]

Interesting.

4 Ayes, 4 Nays, 2 Abstaining. The vote being tied, it's now up to the Vice President to cast the deciding vote.

[Bacon King]

After much deliberation, I've decided to hesitantly vote aye on this.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Thank you Bacon King. I now present this bill to the President for his signature.
