The Financial Regulation package heading through the Senate will, no doubt, be passed. It is a terrible piece of legislation that virtually guarantees another round of serious financial instability for the United States. In every way, FinReg is misguided. It is punitive in spirit and language, and will have a corrosive effect on the financial standing of Wall Street.
It is interesting that as the Asian economies are headed toward world dominance, the US is busy shooting itself in the foot. This mirrors the pattern that occurred as Western Europe slipped into the mire of war, confusion and fascism that ultimately led to the US assuming world dominance. Asia need only continue doing what they are doing as the US passes law after law that will consign the US economy to the dustbin of history.
