House Votes To Gut Dodd-Frank

"The House on Thursday voted to free Wall Street from many of the strict constraints put in place after the 2008 financial crisis, the opening salvo in what is likely to be a protracted battle over deregulation of the powerful banking industry.
Big banks, from Goldman Sachs to Bank of America, would face less scrutiny and other large financial institutions, such as insurance giant MetLife, could escape tougher rules all together under the legislation approved along party lines." WP

While everyone was watching the show in the Senate today, Ryan and his minions voted to gut Dodd-Frank on a party line vote. Why any working stiff votes Republican these days is beyond comprehension.

If another market meltdown occurs on Trump's incompetent watch, we're doomed. Goodbye, well-funded retirement accounts! Hello soup kitchens!

Yet the working class continues to fall for republican lies.

Must convince some that they too will be rich in the future.
