Hmmm.

Donald Trump’s transition team raced to form his cabinet on Thursday as more names were floated for some of the biggest jobs in the president-elect’s administration, including a foe of financial regulation for the powerful position of Treasury secretary.

U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling, a Texas Republican known for his sharp criticism of the 2010 financial regulatory overhaul, is among a growing list of potential nominees for the cabinet as speculation increased about who would surround the new president in office, people familiar with the discussions said.​

Trump’s Transition Team Works to Form Cabinet

Will Wall Street get what they want from President Trump?

Dot Com
 
Dodd Frank is DOA.....

Killing it will be a triumphant victory over liberal fascism.....

Interesting.

I thought Trump supporters hated Wall Street almost as much as they hated Washington, given that the financial industry is the biggest contributor to the sleaze and corruption of Washington.

Who deregulated Glass Steagal?
Republican Senator Phil Gramm.

As chairman of the Senate Banking Committee from 1995 through 2000, Gramm was Washington's most prominent and outspoken champion of financial deregulation. He played a leading role in writing and pushing through Congress the 1999 repeal of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banks from Wall Street. He also inserted a key provision into the 2000 Commodity Futures Modernization Act that exempted over-the-counter derivatives like credit-default swaps from regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Credit-default swaps took down AIG, which has cost the U.S. $150 billion thus far.

Notice how the Right always try to have it both ways, to absolve Bush of all blame in his housing crash they make a MINORITY CONGRESSMAN more powerful than the president, but to blame Clinton they make a powerful MAJORITY SENATOR impotent.
