Financial reforms/un-reforms depending upon your view are unsurprisingly set to be front and center in some upcoming debates. Here are two interesting articles on the upcoming fight on financial measures taked onto must-pass bills like the budget, the exposure game and the likely resulting pressure. Either way, financial regulation is keyed to be a big news cycle item in the upcoming political season.
- A Strategy in the Fight Over Financial Reform: Go Big appearing January 14th in the NYTimes DealBook
- January 9th Op-ed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew: Let's leave Wall Street's risky practices in the past.
These two articles just state the stance of the Obama Administration– please leave a note in the comments if you have any sources stating the opposition view. Would love to present a balanced view of this, and am asking for the reader's help to do so on this time-crunched Wednesday.
