I'm not so sure that going back to Clinton banking rules is a great idea. But aside from that, really nothing not to like here.

Scrapping Dodd-Frank would be fantastic. That along with eliminating Obamacare and lowering taxes would jump start the economy immediately.

Take the tax and regulatory shackles off of the starting and growing small business man.

**End Catch-and-Release**

I don’t know, I like fishing but hate cleaning them, so I always do catch and release.

Oh. Wait. That means something else, doesn’t it?

1. Outlaw all guns
2. Outlaw all Christians
3. Repeal all laws relating to citizenship
4. Import a hundred million muslims
5. Raise taxes
6. Fund the Clinton Foundation
7. Raise more taxes
8. Increase the funding of the Clinton Foundation
9. Really raise taxes
10. Hugely increase the funding of the Clinton Foundation

Dodds-Frank does nothing to reduce the risks of future financial market shenanigans. In fact, banning prop trading by the banks has reduced liquidity in many markets including corp and high yield bonds and cds.

in some future crisis, that reduced liquidity will cause a credit freeze-up even faster than in 2008.

Real reform requires ending too big to fail. As long as favoured institutions are red circled for survival no matter what they do, the moral hazard incentive for excessive risk taking and risk concealment will still be there.

The Fed needs to guarantee “continuity of markets” in case of a financial crisis. Then they can let these loser banks fail w/o causing a credit freeze up.

Under “Constitutional Rights” I hope he rolls back this infernal domestic spying program. It is absolutely not anything to do with “fighting terrorism.” It’s all about using it to control people via blackmail and information sharing. It is shameful and should end yesterday.

I would like to see Glass-Steagall brought back. It worked well for a long time.

I think it best to keep financial businesses from functioning in too many areas such that it creates a built in incentive to no work in the consumer’s best interest. I also think that the use of leverage needs to be greatly curtailed.

I also want a position in Trump’s cabinet or staff.

If wishes were horses....

fixing education:

Repeal Jimmy Carter's "Department of Education". Fedzilla has no business meddling in what should be a State and local matter, if not purely a private matter.

How 'bout it, Donald?

Trump did say during the campaign that he favored Glass-Steagall.

Replacing Dodd-Frank with Glass-Steagall is probably a win.

Trump can use leverage on McConnell with coal by attaching it to something Turtle is not so hot about.

I would laugh if it weren’t so true.

This set of goals is wondrous. If he has the people in his admin to put meat on the bones and works with the GOP to win their zealous support things could turn around very quickly. I note there are no immigrant policy actions that are likely to trigger lawsuits that have any real chance of success. This is smart as the ACLU could muck things up if they are responding to actions that may be lumped together as unconstitutional. Starting off by declaring that his actions will be limited by his Constitutional authority is another winner. Coming from Mr. Trump that, if he is setious, will end worry about his bigger than big Boss persona seeping into the Office. Good things here.

“Trump can use leverage on McConnell with coal”

LOL. I single tweet would be enough to take out McConnell.

I can’t wait to see who will be the first congress critter who will try to get in the way. Most were cowering in fear even before Trump was elected.
