Default GOP and wall street fight financial regulations

the right wing is going to bat for wall street! who coulda guessed?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews

The industry has been damaged further by a series of embarrassing
developments, including the recent fraud charges levied against
Goldman Sachs by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Democrats
also criticized Republican leaders for holding a private meeting with
two dozen Wall Street leaders just before the GOP lawmakers threatened
to block Dodd's bill.

Although Obama and other Democrats held the edge on Wall Street
fundraising during the 2008 election cycle, the political action
committees for major banks and financial services companies have
dramatically shifted their giving toward Republicans in recent months,
data show. Goldman's PAC, for example, gave almost $300,000 to
candidates and parties in March, nearly two-thirds of which went to
the GOP.
