Politically, the Dems spent a year negotiating with an opposition that wouldn’t have supported this bill no matter what it said, but now can point at it and say they did something, while really doing almost nothing, And the Republicans have something to assail. As a practical matter, it’s almost a yawner. But political fuel all around.[/quote]
I’ll take it one further than this. The Dems pretended to negotiate to save face when they caved to their own bankster interests. Both parties are bought and paid for by Wall Street. It was never going to have teeth.
