Good for you challenging Doug Jones BS, Mehdi #Hasan!
Doug Jones democrated. He assumed that he was regulating, or rather deregulating, people who were going to be acting in good faith rather, than just trying to stick as much money in their pockets as possible. Can @TheDemocrats not be so patently naive moving forward?
How did deregulation benefit banks in MS and WY?

This is kinda like the argument continuously made that a specific proposed gun law change would not have impacted a specific mass murder.
Problem is that Congress is ALLOWED to have conflicts of interest. We need a bill that would PREVENT someone like Jones from doing what he did.
