This was part of a wave of deregulation that swept away Franklin Roosevelt’s promise to “chase the money changers from the temple.” Clinton also refused to regulate credit-default swaps, and the US Securities and Exchange Commission allowed banks to triple their leverage.
这是将富兰克林·罗斯福“将货币兑换商从庙堂中赶出去”之誓抛诸脑后的风潮的一部分。此外，克林顿还拒绝将信用违约互换纳入监管范围，而美国证券与交易委员会将银行杠杆率水平限制提高了两倍。这三大决定直接导致了次贷大繁荣，并在2007—2008年拖垮了美国银行体系。
