He has an article out about why he's upset with Dem Party over this Bill which is a big step in the start of DISMANTLING of the Modest "Dodd-Frank' reforms that were hard fought over for years. He has a right to be angry.
This is the link to Matt's new article where he expresses his Anger & Angst that our President lobbied to support a bill that trashes all of the Investigative Reporting by Matt and others about the causes of the 2008 Banking Crash that cost so many of us years of Pain with wipe out of much of our 401-K's, People thrown Out of Their Homes with Criminality of Banks lending to those Who Could Not Afford It and those with Home Equity Loans for Medical Bills or even to Send their Kids to College were left with nothing.
Here is Matt's Article expressing his anger with Dem Party and President Obama.

And...Here is Bill Moyers Interview with Matt about Wall Street Corruption and How Far it Went in Hurting Average Americans and the Implications of What Wall Street Bankers ....Got AWAY WITH.
If you Search you will find many links to Matt's Articles from "Rolling Stone" exposing Wall Street Criminality that only benefitted the 1% and many You Tube links to those who interviewed him about his reporting.
BUT....Here is a Video from "Moyers & Company" that I thought was worth posting for those who weren't here in the "Crash Years"...and there are many more videos about his articles at "You Tube":

Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi joins Bill to discuss the continuing lack of accountability for "too big to fail" banks which continue to break laws and act unethically because they know they can get away with it. Taibbi refers specifically to the government's recent settlement with HSBC -- "a serial offender on the money laundering score" -- who merely had to pay a big fine for shocking offenses, including, Taibbi says, laundering money for both drug cartels and terrorist-connected banks in the Middle East.
Taibbi also expresses his concern over Obama appointees -- including Lanny Breuer and Mary Jo White -- who go from working on behalf of major banks in the private sector to policing them in the public sector.
"The role of law isn't really the role of law if it doesn't apply equally to everybody. If you're going to put somebody in jail here in New York City for six months or a year for having a joint in his pocket, you can't let higher ranking HSBC officials off for laundering $800 million for the worst drug dealers in the entire world," Taibbi tells Bill. "Eventually it eats away at the very fabric of society."

Incredible the Cluelessness.
Thank for pointing that out.
appearing to tick down (who knows how far, how quickly), and I suspect junk bonds are getting trashed, makes it even more suspicious and downright scary.
Is it illegal to place your cash in a safe deposit box instead of depositing it? 
Will it be worth anything anyway?
if we didn't take it the nasty republicans would pass a real nasty bill and we'd have to find a president to veto it
(for the humor impaired)
