The Financial CHOICE (Creating Hope and Opportunity for Investors, Consumers and Entrepreneurs) Act will allow banks to resume making speculative investments with taxpayer insured deposits, restrict operations at the Federal Reserve and handcuff independent agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which obtains its funding from the Federal Reserve and is therefore not subject to the vicissitudes of a hostile congress.
