[Capital Market Taxonomy] Phony financial reform By John Schroy, on July 17th, 2010 |  Leave a comment  Unfortunately, instead of a ‘game-changing’ confidence-inspiring reform, the Obama administration presented the United States with the Dodd-Frank Act — a legislative miscarriage that has the potential to hold back recovery and impair the position of New York as a world financial center for decades — unless repealed or drastically amended.

This, of course, is consistent with the lack of fiscal discipline which is the hall mark of far left Californian politicians, of which Nancy Pelosi is a prime example. California has experience with nut-case economics, having been the home of the famous Emperor Norton who issued his own currency to pay his bills in the mid-19th century.

This broke a long-standing practice of protecting the reputation of the US banking system. The Obama government seized TARP funds as an instrument of political power. Banks, large and small, are now eager to escape the trap of taking TARP funds, which will require them to raise $74.6 billion, either by selling equities on the market, or from profits.
