Financial Reform, One Year Later
Lax investment regulations and bad home loans are blamed for sparking the nation's deepest recession in decades. In response, lawmakers Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others introduced the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The goal was to keep the "average American consumer" safe. But one year later, the act is under legislative attack -- and some are questioning whether the legislation has accomplished its goals.
