Senator Jeff Klein Talks About The Democratic Senate

klein1124b.jpg

Democrats will be assuming control of the Senate in January for the first time in 40 years.

Deputy Majority Leader in Waiting, Senator Jeff Klein is stopping by to discuss some of the agenda items on tap such as the subprime mortgage crisis, converting life insurance into cash for long term care, and paid family leave to name just a few.

Senator Klien introduced a proposal yesterday which included $1.1 billion for healthcare. He believes that HMOs are not covering what people actually need.

He also stated that Wall Street is being analyzed under a socialist lens while everyone else is enjoying capitalism scrutiny. What banks need to do, Klein stated, is to modify mortgages to keep people in their homes and to keep down the number of foreclosures.
