On today’s Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about what has actually changed since the 2008 financial crisis. In 2010 President Obama signed The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law but since then, the financial industry has spent more than one billion dollars to water it down. What should be done to make sure the crisis does not happen again? And why do banks have so much power? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
