Wait the government stops a corrupt bank that it is enabling? Laughable. Bush was equally guilty of the same thing. Forget who started the bailouts? Only way to stop the banks is less government=less power.

NO RatMonopoly! The banks may have been corrupt under Clinton and Obama but NOT W or he and the Republicans would have done something about it! We need MORE regulations and the right people (ie Republicans) to enforce them! Too bad Guilini and Santorum couldn't be Co-Presidents!

RatMono - if you were Republican you would know that people obey laws and regulations if you have enough of them! That's why I wish Santorum would have won so we could straighten people out.

GW was bought and paid for by big money.

You need to ease up on the FOX news, cause your brain is full of nonsense!

Politically Connected Bank Gets a Dodd-Frank Waiver

Bloomberg News reports that Emigrant Bank in New York will be the sole recipient of a Dodd-Frank exemption. The bank asked legislators on the House Financial Services Committee to change the language of the financial regulations slightly, exempting Emigrant from having to comply and saving the bank $300 million.
