Because nothing helps an economy rebound like threatening investors with lots and lots of new government regulation.

I wonder why Democrats think all this demagoguery about Wall Street still works?  It might have been a sound tactic back in the 1960’s and 1970’s when investing was only something rich people did, but these day well over half of American households are invested in the stock market.  Even janitors and ditch diggers have IRA’s and 401k’s.

So when Obama threatens Wall Street, he’s really threatening all of us.
