Republicans Demand Government Report On 2008 Financial Meltdown Can Not Say: "Wall Street", "Shadow Banking" Or "Deregulation"

For months now, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission — which is supposed to be offering a report on the causes of the 2008 financial meltdown — has been bogged down by partisan bickering, with the Republican commissioners griping about the tone of the commission’s final report, which they think is too tough on the banking industry.

Now, as Shahien Nasiripour reported, all of the commission’s Republican members “voted in favor of banning the phrases ‘Wall Street’ and ‘shadow banking’ and the words ‘interconnection’ and ‘deregulation’ from the panel’s final report.”
