SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Rabbit: The Senate is briskly moving along on bank deregulation. Rabbit: The last time we caught a glimpse of the rare Bipartisan Consensus was when Congress expanded warrantless spying. Rabbit: It must be a good law. Doug Jones is on board! Rabbit: This is what happens when your only criteria for winning a national election is "not a crazed pedophile". Rabbit: Good thing there aren't any emergencies today. Rabbit: Like a statewide teacher strike, massive corruption in the executive, an epidemic of mass shootings... Rabbit: I was thinking more like campaign donations drying up.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Bank profits are at record highs despite all our supposedly onerous regulations and yet one item at the top of the Congressional agenda is deregulating banks again, rolling back regulatory requirements put in place after the last big financial meltdown.

Why Democrats are on board with this is one of those mysteries for the ages. (Hint: Most mysteries of the ages are easily explained by MONEY.)
