Greed eventually insinuated itself into Barney Frank, co-sponsor of Dodd-Frank. That was fine until he served on the board of Signature Bank and pushed deregulation.
The fact so many Democrats joined with Trump on deregulation tells us how we have the "best congress money can buy".
It never ends well.
Trump signed the paper.
So he's got some exposure and for some, a level of culpability. But many Dems were also in support of this. The deregulation of the banking industry in 2018, which stopped a CPFB rule to put the customer first was supported by many Dems in both the House and the Senate.
What's to be learned from all of this?
When it comes to money, darn few in our Congressional leadership, be they Dems o0r Republicans, care about folks like you and me. When they had a chance to stand with Main Street over Wall Street, and make banks primarily beholden to consumers, instead of investors, they whiffed.
Our president. Both parties. And the chattering classes.
As Ducky might say... follow the money to know why.
Because money flows just as easily into GOP pockets as it does Dem pockets.
Dave D. and Dave M.
Our Congresscritter serve those with the deepest pockets. Dems and Repubs.
We do have the best government money can buy.
This sickens me.
Did you see the Frontline show "Age of Easy Money"? It's online now.

Unfortunately, we'll be having more bank failures coming very soon. You can bet they're the result of what went on between 2017 to 2021. Consequences of whom you voted or not voted for are going to cost us bigly.
On a side note, you probably heard about the train derailment in Arizona turning out to being not as bad as they feared. The tankers had corn syrup. But I'm starting to think the tRumpers are getting dirtier by the second with all these train derailments happening around the same time. I said a while back I saw stuff on the dark web.
