5. hi shenmue, which part of the post is incorrect?

8. so there was no repeal of Dodd Frank? What has Sen. Warren been railing against?

3. It makes me sick to my stomach that anyone, let alone Democrats voted to approve

Letting banks hide inequality/racist policies and practices.

4. I don't know how I feel about that.

Jones was in an impossible situation. He's in a deep red state and his chances for winning re-election are slim. If he had voted against the repeal, it would have given plenty of ammunition to his opponent.

7. ammunition with voters or big donors? Apparently banks greased some palms ahead of the vote...

In the 2016 election cycle, the list of the top recipients of contributions from commercial banks was dominated by Republicans such as Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Marco Rubio of Florida. So far in the 2018 cycle, Ms Heitkamp and Mr Donnelly are well out in front. Another five Democratic senators who supported the Crapo bill also appear in the top 20: Claire McCaskill (Missouri), Tim Kaine (Virginia), Jon Tester (Montana), Doug Jones (Alabama) and Mark Warner (Virginia), of which the latter three are members of the Senate banking committee.

6. Think about it. Is there one voter who supports less regulation for banks?

Except for a few bookkeepers, who might find the paper work less appealing than standing around a water cooler, who would possibly support less regulation, especially after the 2007/8 meltdown?

Oh, bankers and their owners who are standing by, ready to give thousands to candidates who support this shit.

10. Yes.

Anybody who doesn't qualify for loans under the more strict loaning requirements.

Those end to be people and businesses with fewer assets, lower income, or shakier credit histories.

Do you know any kind of business or family known for fewer assets, lower income, or shakier credit histories?

The legislation is a sausage, like most legislation. It includes all kinds of things some people want. That can be interpreted as "for each thing there's a group of some people who want them" or "for each thing, there's a set of some people who want it"--with those "some people" not being the same for each thing. In other words, each provision has some supporters but pretty much nobody wants all the provisions.

Learn about how much of this article is bullshit. e.g.:

Anyone not blaming Republicans for this bill in the first place is only enabling that same GOP behavior. When you hold Democrats to account for what the GOP has wrought, you’re part of the problem.

11. Could Ruskies be infiltrating us?

12. Zero Democrats should have voted for this. Zero. nt
