The Republicans tried to hold the "financial reform" bill back
, --- perhaps they are trying to protect the "evil" private industry from getting mandated out of business; GOOD FOR THEM . At least some entity is trying to help the people --- not that Republicans are any better than Democrats, but people can see an obvious senseless bill/mandate, --- the Republicans are simply defending sanity, which is a easy way to get votes. Whatever your party PLEASE --- REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, AND DECENT VALUES --- YOU'LL GET PEOPLE'S VOTES.
