Those regs were put into place after the big 1929 crash that caused the great

Reagan "helped" the economy by allowing banks to "finance wealth" far in advance
with no regard to the possibility that people would/could not pay it in the future.

The future is here motherfuckers.

And you ain't getting paid.
