Trump gutting bank regulations. This won't end well for the USA. [View all]

Trump is gutting the bank regs set up after the â€™08 Great Recession. The Fed governor in charge of bank regs is gutting regs and laying off 30% of staff. She weakened measures to detect possible failures, watered down bank supervision at the FDIC and gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
