Why did "they" water down the derivatives regs, and toss out the Merkeley-Feingold amendments? Why did they not adopt a strong Volcker amendment (Volcker himself said the final bill was too weak)? Why is the bill 2800 pages long and counting (gotta jam those loopholes in). The WSJ is as always a shill for the banks (owned by, yes, the same guy who owns "Faux" news! Consider the source...... If you want to understand why they didn't go far enough, look around your thread. The Rs are wishing for failure on every thing. Rs votes were needed in the Senate to get things past. To get an R to break ranks these days requires some serious amending. Its a fact of life in DC. So....you want nothing or something? [And btw the WSJ article was the one I happen to pull....the story was real and covered by other media.]
