No... most people know that washington is at a political deadlock.

The sad part is. That's probably an improvement.

Most laws passed today seem to have the opposite effect from what's intended... mostly coming from the Democrats.  Since people generally buy into untrue rhetorics.

Dodd-Frank being a prime example.  It was supposed to be harder on banks, make it harder for crisis to happen and solve to big to fail.


What it did was, make it a LOT harder on small banks, making big banks bigger and even more systemic, going so far as calling them systemic in fact.  They mandate a "wind down" process for breaking up a failing big bank, but such processes only exist when one bank is independently failing.

 

Meaning if we had Dodd Frank in 2000 or 2004.  In 2008 chances are the crisis would of been far worse.
