The problem is, that we let banks become so big and important for our economies, that they can make the rules, if we want it or not.

The rules that Obama made, where hardly enough to prevent the biggest problems, of the system. But even those are abolished by the new president, since they might limit the possible profits, rich people can make.

And so we live on in the land of unlimited profits for the 0,1% and the unlimited losses for society.
