“Any assurances provided to Putin should not reward his malign behavior...any suggestion that we can pursue arms control with a serial liar and killer like Putin should be treated with great skepticism.”

What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
