So trump wants to do with all the regulations that were put on companies after the economic crisis.

Great. I guess we can expect another massive recession. I swear to god people are incapable of learning from past mistakes.

Yea, the current system of having half our population receiving government handouts is working real well now.

that problem is gonna be solved with deregulating practices that got us there in the first place.

i know you're cool with going backwards, but the majority of the country is not.

and we have income inequality to thank for that, not regulation on crap business practices.

Repealing Dodd Frank only does away with the regulations that allow banks to use the same lending habits that caused the housing crisis to begin with.

Did I not addressing Swish and his post? Yes.

Since when is anyone talking about repealing Dodd/Frank?
I have heard of plans to change some of it but I would like to read any link you may have to actual repeal.

whoever told you that half of all americans are on some kinda public dole was incorrect, unless you consider Social Security and Medicare. So you are starting out your thinking based on a lie.

House lawmakers on Thursday advanced the "crown jewel" of the GOP-led regulatory reform effort, effectively gutting the Dodd-Frank financial regulations that were put in place during the Obama administration.

CNN- effectively Gut Dodd/Frank.

Such an emotional way of describing making changes.

Just trying to end those pesky regulations.

Great, thanks. Do you borrow money from banks for your business Eve? How do you feel about Dodd Frank?

What do you call all the money those big companies got after the financial crisis?

Doesnt affect me so I have no opinion. I have never borrowed money for my business, no.

That's awesome. I appreciate your reply. I'll wait for a business owner that borrows consistently like I do to reply.

There's some good things about Dodd Frank and there's a whole lot wrong with it.

Dodd Frank has destroyed community banks all across this country. They are too small to afford all of the requirements of Dodd, so they wind up being absorbed by bigger banks ... which, in turn, get absorbed by even bigger banks .....

For people who wanted to eliminate the "too big to fail" banks, they sure greased the skids for this very thing to happen. Small banks simply cannot compete, or survive.

i wonder how many predatory mortgage loans came from these small community banks.

the banking industry as a whole is responsible for the recession, along with a host of other industries, as well as individual citizens themselves.

so lets not act like small community banks are innocent, when they also had a hand in the issue that led to these regulations taking place.

again, i placed the blame on the entire industry, which happens to include small community banks.

"tend to" is not the same as "doesn't". banks are banks, and if they can legally get over on people, they will, or at least attempt to unless they get called on it then stop.

so yea i do blame them, which is part of the ENTIRE INDUSTRY, on a good regulation known as dodd frank.

unlike you, i applaud policies that acknowledge what went wrong, and a solution to the problem. unlike you, i would like if we don't allow banks to screw us over, at least in this aspect as they will find something else to pull, like Wells fargo did.

if we get rid of dodd frank, you'll be the first dude whining about banks like everybody else did when another recession happens. and i'll be going "told you so".

so lets avoid the "told you so".

LMAO, you have no clue and I'm done with this stupidty.
