GOP Uses Budget, Other Tools to Sap Financial Law
President Barack Obama's financial overhaul law is nearly a year
old. For congressional Republicans, the fight to weaken it is just
starting.Wary of trying to repeal the entire statute and being
portrayed as Wall Street's protectors ¡ª banks rank among the country's
least popular institutions ¡ª GOP lawmakers are trying to nibble away
at the behemoth measure. It's a crusade they've waged all year, despite
lacking the White House and Senate control they need to prevail.
Days ago, one Republican-run House committee approved bills
diluting parts of the law requiring reports on corporate salaries and

for now.
"It's mostly setting a marker for the election. And it helps with
their campaign contributions," said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who
chaired the Financial Services Committee last year and was a chief
author of the law. "But it also tells people in the financial community
that if they win the next election, they'll be able to undo it all."The
financial industry leans Republican in its campaign contributions but
not overwhelmingly. Sixty-one percent of the $9 million that commercial
banks gave federal candidates for the 2010 elections went to

Center for Responsive Politics.
