Foreign money in U.S. elections. The proliferation of super PACs. How grave a threat do any of things pose to American democracy?

The high-profile legal minds on the CPAC panel largely agreed that the changes to the campaign finance landscape are grounds for celebration.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/8560233?ref=rss">3.8 average</a> (not enough reviews) - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/8560233?ref=rss">See Review »</a> - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/8560233/toolbar?ref=rss">Review It</a>        <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Republicans Money and Politics Maddow: Does Ron Paul’s Delegate ‘Sneak Attack’ Strategy Undermine Voter Will?

While the deal is being described as a $25 billion settlement, the banks will only have to pay out a total of $5 billion in cash between them. We speak to one of the settlement's most prominent critics, Yves Smith, a longtime financial analyst who runs the popular finance website, "Naked Capitalism." "The settlement, on the surface, does look like it's helping homeowners," Smith says. "But, in fact, the bigger part that most people don't recognize is the way it actually helps the banks with mortgages on their own books... The real problem is that this deal is just not going to give that much relief."

The first is the unbelievable tone-deafness of people who would complain out loud, during a time when millions of people around the country are literally losing their homes, that their bonuses - not their total compensation, mind you, but just their cash bonuses, paid in addition to their salaries and their stock packages - are barely enough to cover the mortgage payments for their new condos, the taxis they take when walking is too burdensome, and their girlfriends with expensive tastes.
