Anyone who wants to understand the current state of the Democratic
Party should pay close attention to what happened this week in the
House of Representatives, where Democrats cut down a GOP-backed Wall
Street deregulation bill. In response, the bill's supporters avoided
talking about who the legislation would have helped (hint: two big
banks), focusing instead on calling its victorious opponents a bunch of
flip-floppers.
"They were for this bill before they were against it," said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas).
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a Goldman Sachs alum, made the same point more softly during an appearance on C-SPAN Thursday morning.
