Because its being dismantled & ripped to shreds by big banks, aka our government. Do you think Barney Frank realized this while they were working so hard to get it right? I don't. I think he believed in it & believed in people doing the right thing for the greater good. They spit on him with every rip into Dodd-Frank.

They are laughing at us.
