Romney's Bank Reforms Would Be Good For Banks And Good For You

Yes, sue me. I woke up this morning and, over at the Rumble, wrote about Romney's plan to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank.

Dodd-Frank is the type of policy engineering that Democrats excel at -- selling big legislation on the lie that it's good for Joe Consumer when it's really nothing of the sort.
