My letter to the editor in response to the @WSJwallstreet editorial criticizing @SpeakerPelosi's proposed 1/6 commission and the report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. 10 years after its release, the truth of the FCIC's report prevails : https://t.co/OrWyQjjqQk
My @washingtonpost op-ed: after the financial crisis, the big banks never changed their ways. Why should they have? It had all worked out fine for them. https://t.co/SjPKkm2VBu
The irony of the 2008 financial collapse is that #WallStreet which caused the crisis paid no real legal, economic, or political price for its misconduct. https://t.co/SjPKkm2VBu
The great irony of the 2008 financial collapse is that Wall Street suffered very few, if any, consequences for its actions. It never learned its lesson. That’s bad news for the rest of us, Phil Angelides writes. https://t.co/eXsQ097GQ3
$3 billion+ in campaign spending and lobbying by the financial industry since 2008 paid off handsomely when the U.S. House voted to loosen oversight of Wall Street.

How much Southern California CEOs make compared to workers. Despite the myth of the indispensable CEO, if one collapses on the golf course, hundreds of qualified people are around to take that job. https://t.co/mZ76r0KT1R
The people appointed by Trump as financial regulators have one trait in common: lifetime service in and fealty to the financial industry.

Millions lost homes & jobs, cities and towns devastated, and many still struggling because of the financial crisis brought on by Wall Street recklessness. Now Sen. Crapo’s bill would bow to Wall Street in weakening financial reform. See my statement:

It’s astounding that the Senate is seriously considering Sen. Crapo’s bill to weaken Wall Street reforms on the 10th anniversary of Bears Stearns collapse. Wasn’t one multi-trillion dollar bailout enough? See my statement:

Sen. Crapo’s bill, S. 2144, would weaken #WallStreet reforms and expose taxpayers, the financial, and the economy to significant risks. The Senate needs to reject it. See my statement:

History has proven that unfettered deregulation of Wall Street comes to no good end. If we don't rise up, we will pay a dear price.

The Trump, GOP, big banks no-holds-barred attack on oversight of Wall Street must be defeated to protect American families and our economy
