Wall Street Attempt to Use Trade Deals to Gut Dodd-Frank Act 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In related news, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is warning Wall
Street has begun trying to use international trade deals to quietly stop
or alter parts of the Dodd-Frank Act. Warren said there are “growing
murmurs” about Wall Street’s efforts to “do quietly through trade
agreements what they can’t get done in public view with the lights on
and people watching.” The United States is currently negotiating three
major trade deals including the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
