Verily. Consider the gaping loopholes of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000? & the reluctance to close even after the natural consequences of its failure to regulate the toxic financial products created? An almost stubborn insistence these derivative-based products would not prove to be toxic. Basically, the FIRE sector saying, 'you're not the boss of me' & claims of 'doing God's work'. Sheeesh.

This what the fat cat friends of Trump want. Defender of the little people? You would have to be a fool to have fallen for that.

Trumps wants banks to s c r e w you as much as they can and help create another another economy crash great Another reason he might be trying to do this is he wants to get loans again from US banks
You're against everything so what else is new. When you move out on your own, you'll find out that things aren't like what's written in The Nation, or on MSNBS.
See you on TV at the next protest.

Oh. Thought you might be referring to that mystical principle of the 'invisible hand': that each individual in pursuing his own selfish good was led, as if by an invisible hand, to achieve the best good for all.

Does any of it it have to do with banks being afraid to lend money to people wanting to expand their businesses?

Individual government representatives, individual bankers & individual regulators were all pursuing their own best interests, is that right?

Did someone forget to say 'abracadabra'? Is that why the magical principle didn't work?
