The answers aren't that hard to determine.

This result was not about the merits of the legislation. It was not about what is fair and right. It was not about whether the law should help people retain their homes in a last-ditch effort.

This result was about nothing but money. Money the banks want to keep. Money that politicians want to keep receiving from banks. It's the same thing virtually every bill that makes its way through Congress is about these days.

Washington is officially bought and paid for, and they don't even try to hide that fact anymore.
