Moe, Larry, and Curly?

in Regulation

ThreeStooges
The New York Times reports under this photo:

Representative Barney Frank, and Senators Charles E. Schumer and
Christopher J. Dodd would play critical roles guiding the
administration’s financial overhaul through Congress.

They have played a major role in past financial regulation and in blocking regulation that helped create the crisis.

Are they stooges? I report, you decide:

Frank has a Fannie Mae problem.
Dodd has an AiG problem. And a Fannie Mae problem.
And Schumer co-sponsored the bill that caused the financial crisis (according to Paul Krugman.)
