Dodd-Frank was nothing more than a dog-and-pony show for the American public. A Potemkin Village designed to convince us that something was being done while making sure nothing actually threatened the iron grip of the Banksters. If they wanted to fix “too big to fail” they would have simply re-instated Glass-Steagall. But the Banksters would not go for that.

America now runs a 342 billion dollars / year trade deficit with the People’s Republic of China.

That is what is wrong.

Both parties, have sold out America.

Sweet!  We're waking up to futures trades +0.18% on both stocks and metals this morning!  This after yesterday's solid stock gains in rising volume --NASDAQ even clawed back up over the 50 day moving average--  as metals continue to hold steady..  There's even stuff for the 'all is lost' crowd:

• Fed expected to push ahead with rate hike plan  WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve is expected on Wednesday to point to a growing U.S. economy and stronger job market as it sets the stage for a possible interest rate hike in September.  Reuters - 5 hours ago
• Problem w/the White House Threat to Veto REINs - Wayne Crews, Forbes

A cynic might suspect this was how it was designed to be.

As with all Demonic Party policies, that's exactly what it was intended to do, along with diminish the U.S. economy. What is easier to control - a multitude of flourishing small and regional banks or a paltry few multi-national banks? The Demonic scum, as always, design their regulation and legislation to control everything, to ensure that their vile and perverted worldview benefits only them and their cronies.

Yea well the to big to fail line is a joke. Derivatives are even bigger now than 2008 and most are a garbage salad.

It sounded good at the time. But in fact, it's had the exact opposite effect, leading to a decline in small banks and rising market share for the very largest. A cynic might suspect this was how it was designed to be.

If by "cynic" you mean someone with a functioning brain.
