If you ' re short on time , play zoo . <| sep |> There ' s no established prize , much less a proper selection committee , but informally I ' m more than willing to recognize you as Dumbass of the Day for this , the 24 th of November 2016 . <| sep |> Except Trump is going to reinstate GlassSteagal , the repeal of which made the whole thing possible . Had the bill still been in place , the large lending banks would have been prohibited from investing in mortgagebacked securities . The creditdefault swap market would not have existed . It literally is the single piece of legislation that would have stopped the whole thing . The response since the crash has been halfmeasure bullshit that addresses only symptoms , like banks being overleveraged .
