Biden vetoes resolution that had bipartisan support

What a United!

Again, Democrat messaging about economics is infantile. The legislation the GOP attempted to overturn, allows retirement fund managers to consider ideological, non financial aspects of investments.
One wonders who became wealthier upon passage of that bill.

Is he ignoring the Non-MAGA Democrat Controlled Senate that also passed the bill?

The GOP response?
Good luck explaining this one...

I thnk it does.
If one wishes to invest in "green" funds or companies, they're out there. You know it when you invest. But to make funds do so is compromising the best return on a client's money.

My question is does this regulation affect fiduciary responsibility or not? If so, it has to go.

That must be the point of the original law. It allows managers to make bad financial decisions, as long as those decisions are supportable by leftist ideology.
If the ideology aligned with good financial decisions, the law wouldn't have needed to exist. It exists specifically to protect bad financial decisions.

According to this I don't think it really does.

"You still have all your old obligations for financial prudence, but now you can consider ideology". That's literally meaningless, but these things end up being argued in court anyway. The law makes it more defensible to hand-wave a financial motivation for ideology. E.g, if we don't invest in green funds, the planet will melt, which will be bad for the economy. That argument now holds more water, if a claim of mismanagement is litigated.

So the veto does away with a financial manager using their ideology to invest in things that the investor might not be made aware?
That's a good thing as long as it doesn't prevent the actual investor from investing in things based on their ideology.

The opposite. Biden kept in place the ability of fund managers to invest based on ideology. The removal of that ability had bipartisan support.
Education is extremely important.

Not really. The regulation, which is not really a regulation at all, would only allow a fiduciary to invest in that type of fund or security if it were the financial best thing for the client.

That was already explicitly their job. From this perspective, the legislation is meaningless.

Are there enough votes to override the veto?
Not even close.
