I think that Brad is being a bit too kind to financial-services-aware-Republicans. They are sophisticated enough to know that financial services require the appearance of strict regulation. But they are, uh, Republicans. They don't really believe in regulation, and hateHATE supervision. (I'll make the usual exception for Sheila Bair.)

Captain Renault is their model bank supervisor. But they'll take anybody who can keep the kayfabe going.

Dear Billionaires,

I cannot believe that you are so greedy and so stupid to be concerned about marginal tax rates and carried interest that you cannot see Trump and his entourage as a threat to the law based liberal order in which (and because of which) you have thrived.

Please either write or point us to a single good faith and intelligent argument that makes the case for this would-be dictator as preferable to Biden.

Thank you.
