Glad that Elizabeth Warren is calling out this roll back of financial regulations.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/11/politics/elizabeth-warren-banking-bill-cnntv/index.html
Washington (CNN)Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren warned Sunday that a banking bill under consideration -- with the support of several Democrats -- would increase the chance of a financial crisis.
"Frankly, I just don't see how any senator can vote to weaken the regulations on Wall Street banks," the Massachusetts senator told CNN's Jim Acosta on "State of the Union."
Warren has been a vocal opponent of the banking bill, which would roll back some of the regulations from the Obama-era Dodd-Frank law and has received significant Democratic backing in addition to overwhelming Republican support.
An analysis of the bill from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said its passage would increase the likelihood of a major financial institution cratering or a financial crisis, a point Warren cited during the interview, taped Saturday.

Elizabeth is so right... how any Senator, let alone a Democrat, could vote for the bill is beyond me

D-MT, because he has been writing to me lately, asking for money and saying how worried he is and how much he needs my help. I replied that he would probably not be if he voted like a D instead of an R on this bill. I showed him what was wrong with this bill and why any sane D would not vote for it. I have not yet heard back. If you've got one of those turncoat senators, I encourage you to do the same.
