This is Obama's largest and most telling failure. After 2008 the need to re-institute the financial regulations which had been steadily eroded for the last three decades was nakedly obvious. A year later and we have no new regulation whatsoever.

If nothing changes, everything will stay the same.

also, here's SRW's Rooseveltian reflections and rolfe winkler sez: "though the lobby machine is strong, it's not the real obstacle to reform. We are..."

cheers!

Great talk. Wish I could see the charts better. (guess I'll have to buy the book)
