Think Progress: Republicans, after failing to prevent the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law from passing Congress, have attempted to undermine it by refusing to give Wall Street regulators adequate funds to do their jobs. Both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are short of the funding they require, and House Republicans recently voted in committee to fund the SEC $245 million below the Obama administration’s request for 2013.
How do Republicans enable corruption, let us count the ways... Failing to fund duly passed anti-corruptioin legislation is one of the more scumbaggerish and anti-democratic tactics.
