    Even this weak regulation is too much, Congress? I hope Wall Street gets the value they are buying. Oh wait: they will--something, on average, of about $750 dollars for each one they spend.

    Too big to fail is too big. Don't let the avarice of a few destroy our economy again.

    Dodd-Frank, as it currently stands, is already too weak in regulating the kinds of nonsense that spawned the 2008 financial crisis. Show some backbone and refuse to cave to Wall Street - or open your wallets and show us the campaign donations that bought your vote.

    Have we not learned what deregulation of Wall Street brings?

    Please do not vote for this bill; do not let Wall Street dictate the economic condition of our country. I worked on Wall Street for many years and tell you that there is never a thought about the impact of actions; it really is all about getting money in any way possible. I cannot stress enough that the ONLY scorecard on the street is money. They're the best salesmen in the world so resistance is futile. Don't sell us out. Thank you. Mary E. Slack

    When used responsibly, derivatives can be a legitimate hedge for individual instruments, LIBOR rates, US Treasury rates, commodities, and curriencies. When used irresponsibly, derivatives can manifest into a gross material misstatement of fact. A derivative can extract value out of real things and divert extracted value to private interests effectively when abused.. Derivatives can also be used as a price control grid to set interest rates hindering free market forces.
