Only a very few people actually know what is contained in Dodd-Frank. I suspect some of it could go, but the core needs to be maintained.

I really dislike that banks were playing with investments of their customers. I dislike that there was no criminal indictment for some of the fraudulent activities on lenders as well as brokers. It was a game of liars poker and everyone lost.

No. She said "we have to pass it so we can find out what's in it."

There are those who all believe that the government was provided the constitution right to regulate commerce, which in the best interest of the people. That is in the constitution as well. Individuals have no chance against large corporations, and that was intended to be a check.

Part of democracy is that there will always be people on the fringes who wish for an alternative reality. The constitution will be subject to interpretation. What it is not is an absolute document. It can be changed by the will of the people through the amendment process.

Good luck with your effort, but I can be on the other side of that one.

So let me get this straight.

The regulations came because people weren't being responsible, including businesses.

And now you guys are cheering the deregulation, because........?

It's like some of you are incapable of learning from the past. I just don't get it. There's a REASON why we needed these regulations.


“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
