If only that were the case... I'd gladly become a Republican.
Was that without qualification? Just as he said, Dodd-Frank doesn't work, and no one should be surprised by that because Dodd and Frank are the two legislators most responsible for stoking the problem in the first place. That's a good enough reason to repeal it just as it was a good enough reason not to let them anywhere near financial regulation in the first place - let alone to craft the damn law - but everyone was screaming about the need to DO SOEMTHIN!!!1 so what we got was, as usual, worse than doing nothing.
So the answer is to get rid of useless regulation like this, which only makes doing legitimate business more difficult and only helps the "fat cats" to anyway, and have only the regulations we really, truly need, and enforce the shit out of them.
