House Republicans are priming the pump for the next president to overhaul much of the financial regulation enacted in the aftermath of the 2008 global market downturn. The GOP plan would repeal and replace most of the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul with a more market-based regulatory scheme.

“In a phrase,” he said, summarizing the Republican plan in prepared remarks obtained by The Daily Signal, “we need economic growth for all and bank bailouts for none.”

How about just not passing any bailout bills? Don’t even create the bailout bills to begin with ... kill them in committee.

That’s nice and all, but if a bank is so big that it’s failure will collapse the rest of the economy, then they will bail it out, period.

So essentially it's a Public Trust. Banks should have been broken up as a condition of the bailout.

Agree 100%, but nobody in office, or who will be in office, will do that.
