"The 2024 election ushered in the largest turnover among federal financial regulators in the history of our country, and that's starting to bear fruit," said Ed Mills, a Washington policy analyst at Raymond James. Big banks, he said, are "back in the driver's seat."

Only a real idiot, or a MAGA, can't see where this is going to lead.

Donald Trump enjoys destruction when he can do the destroying.

If you think that he was going to do anything to help you out, you're a special kind of stupid.

Oh yeah, let's build on Clinton's Gramm"Leach"Bliley Act by deregulating the banks even further, and have a 2008 reenactment.

Ph, it's coming. It's virtually guaranteed withGQP rule. Trump's disaster economy is goin to make Reagan' or Bush's look like child's play. Trump will be remembered as the absolute worst President and very likely the last Republican President. He should not be allowed to just walk away; he will deserve punishment, imprisonment for a long time!

The GOP sees bubbles and market crashes as a way to funnel money and profits to the 1%. The collapse of the housing market while devastating to middle class families who are wiped out are massive opportunities to buy investment properties on the cheap. Bank bailouts will go to prop up banks that did a horrible job of assessing mortgage risk, remove the losers off their balance sheets and provide cash for bonuses to the c-suite and buybacks of outstanding shares at bargain prices. If the recession is too deep the model for the 1% profiting off of PPP loans is tried and true method to fund sports cars and boats for the owners of companies under the lie of "protecting jobs".
