Most of the bad (and good to be fair) policies have their true effects accumulate over time and people become numb to it. That is why people say "Oh President doesn't impact me much."

Maybe not, but the government at the federal, state and local levels impact you a lot.

Dodd-Frank impacted all of us. It should have never passed the way it was written under Clinton. W should have repealed it rather than taking advantage....but history shows he was just in bed with all the powers to be. Obama was a president who didnt get 1 positive bill passed in 8 years. The ACA did cost me actual money.

I am pretty confident that Trump will repeal Dodd-Frank, ObamaCare, and deregulate banks and government.

Reagan's initial budget cuts reduces my student aid package by about 50%.

Clinton's tax increase caused the owner of our company to cancel the management bonus plan in order to pay his additional tax obligation. That led me to quit my job shortly thereafter.

How has Dodd-Frank negatively affected you?

Senator Schumer says he has enough votes to block Trump:

Every president all the way back to George Washington has had some sort of effect on every single person on this forum regardless if you believe it or not

Schumer doesnt have shit. He also thinks Trump will not be able repeal and replace ObamaCare
...lol.

I am a developer and builder. That bill caused the housing crisis...fact...and it hurt when the bubble popped. Luckily I had good guidance from a good mentor that warned to cool off with acquisitions before it got really bad.

I am on my phone so cant explain in detail, but basically thr law was made to expand government, it did. The regulations started to loosen becasue fat cats were cashing. The pole smoker Frank saw in 2007 what was about to happen from his work, tried to correct from 15 years of corruption, but it was way to late.

I had a community in N Atl that we were selling houses with 125% financing at 400k. People were getting paid to buy houses they couldnt afford. Sounds great right?

Luckily for me I made some good investments that cash flowed. Had to learn to live off 40k per year. Now I am back rolling but sad to have built wealth up on others misfortune. Everybody was doing it.


The busting of the housing bubble was huge to me
Frank Dodd had more to do with that than anything.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Uh Dodd-Frank passed in 2010, housing bubble burst in 2007 so I'm not understanding the correlation. Maybe you're confusing it with "American Dream Downpayment Act" which gave away homes to the poor with awful credit. It was passed by Bush and the Cons.

You do realize it was the banking deregulations that led to the collapse? Banks were allowed to pretty much put all their eggs in the subprime basket which bankrupted them.

The President always has a major effect on anyone in the military by deciding which wars to fight, which ones to not fight, and who to send.

Bush Jr sent me a check for $600 which was cool. He then spent too much money in an effort to make sure no other President can ever do that again.

Obama paid for my vasectomy, which kept an extra $1000 in my bank account. Giving poor people subsidized sterilizations is something that will benefit all of us greatly in about 20 years. Obama has also let me avoid any personal responsibility for eight full years. Anytime anything bad happens in my life, instead of looking at my own choices as the cause, I can just blame him
