Why were Republicans against Wall Street reform?

Because these bills don't do what you were told they would do.

The majority party always sticks things in these bills that they know will be repugnant to the other party. The Republicans were also unhappy that Freddie and Fannie were not included in this bill for regulations and over sight. The dems want to do away with F&F but I must assume they will want it to run directly through the Fed where nobody will know what's going on.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
