    And what about the Clintons?? We are all still suffering because of Bill and it would be a lot worse if Hillary got in , just in case you don,t know what I,m talking about.
    In 1999 Bill signed in a repeal to the Glass–Steagall legislation( Sections 20 and 32 ) which cause the crash of 07-08 like the crash of 1929.
    The Glass–Steagall legislation was brought in to stop an other crash,
    And you wonder how the Clinton,s got rich

    Economic cycles go up and down, but not on glacial timelines. The causes are numerous and I'm not going to dispute economic legislation.

    My main concern, as posted in the OP, is that a supreme court decision like this will regress the USA socially, and due to the nature of the supreme court, it will literally be decades before a progressive path could return.

    And in recent breaking news, Trump agrees to settle(for $25million)in fraud lawsuits against '' Trump University ''. The lawsuits relate to claims by students that they were duped into paying up to $35,000 each for seminars, where instructors would reveal Trump's secrets of real estate investing. The lawsuits involved the NY Attorney General and class actions brought by up to 6,000 students. Of course, as part of the settlement no wrong doing was admitted. The primary aim of the students was to recoup their fees.



    The phrase, '' snake oil salesman'' comes to mind

    So as in Ireland you approve of people who promise before the election and then change course rapidly afterwards. The wall is turning into a fence fairly rapidly, for instance.
    You also endorse racism and misogyny as effective Electoral tools in a modern, enlightened, pluralist democracy (which we often mistake parts of the US for)

    The real push to financial deregulation which led to much of the Wall Street excesses, began with the Reagan administration and continued with Thatcher in London.
