House passes sweeping legislation to roll back banking rules [(Dodd-Frank)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_reform). The bill also significantly curtails the powers of the [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protection_Bureau). I guess its time to bend over, yet again. :dubious: ---
