The Senate is currently deliberating on the “Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act”. It seeks to update and reform some of the regulations that Dodd-Frank put on financial institutions in 2010. The idea behind Dodd-Frank was to protect consumers from another "Great Recession" and from paying for another massive bank bailout. As we approach the 10-year anniversary of the market crash, some Democrats have suggested that the Senate bill will loosen regulations that have kept the big banks in check. Ali Velshi, MSNBC anchor and business correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, breaks down the contents of the bill and why Dodd-Frank does need revising. NYU professor Michael Oppenheimer laid out the evidence for how anti-globalist sentiment is influencing and upending politics around the world.
