Where’s the sunlight in Dodd-Frank bill? | The Daily Caller:
On Friday, we found out that House and Senate conferees closed a marathon session with an early-morning announcement that a deal had been reached on the Dodd-Frank Financial Overhaul bill. The mainstream media, of course, breathlessly applauded Congress for making this deal and “fixing” our financial woes.
At 2,000 pages, I prepared myself for a long weekend of reading complex statutory language. After all, I heard that Barney Frank wanted the House of Representatives to vote on the bill by Tuesday, so that President Obama could sign it by July 4. Clearly, time was of the essence.
The only obstacle? I couldn’t find a copy of the bill.
Anywhere."
