The Dodd Frank Act In The 1930's

Since the start of the recession, 8.8 million jobs have been lost, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The government could have done a lot more to prevent this market crash. For instance the US was borrowing close to a trillion dollars a year from other countries before the Great Recession.
