I am not surprised at all, after hearing the story of its gutting by the vulture capitalists who sucked it dry and left the husk to bleach in the sun..... The rise of monopolists and venture capitalists in US business is one of the tragic stories that both parties must take the blame for allowing to happen. Bill Clinton actively supported the neoliberal supply-side economics of the Reagan era, and in fact signed the law repealing the 1934 Glass-Steagall Act, which protected us from risky dealing by our large commercial banks. Without Glass-Steagall, it took the "Masters of the Universe' only 10 years to bring the US economy, and the global economies that depended on it, to the brink of ruin, for which we are still paying a price. The only way we can possibly set this right is the complete reform of our entire financial and investment system, plus full and serious application of the Sherman And Clayton Anti-trust Acts, which have lain fallow since Ronnie entered the White House. To do that we need a president and government with the guts to take on the big money that has bought the government and the courts..... Makes me wonder what the hell Sally Yates is doing these days.....
I remember when Slickster Willy (who I never voted for on grounds I only vote for Democrats, and one read of his scamming of the ROTC was enough to never be surprised at his attempted con artist jobs) killed Glass Steagal. A business lawyer I was seeing socially at the time despite her being a registered Republican (different times) told me that she gave 8-10 years before things fell apart. She was really strongly in favor of keeping all banking closely regulated. She was right.
Slick Willy ( I know, Tom...) got more Repugnantkin legislation pushed through Congers than any Repug POTUS ever did. The hottest Ozark Wallstreeter ever. Don't get me started on Angleman and the flights from Central America to Arkansas, OKed by Gov. Willy, with un-tracked cargo...
