Anyone truly serious about helping the little guy survive corporate market manipulations would be pushing to reinstate the long-time prohibitions on shorting stocks on a down-tick, and stock buy-backs - which used to be considered criminal insider share-price manipulation. It's possible I just missed where Lina was pushing for either of those.

You mean you missed where a bureaucrat in the executive branch pushed for a change in the law that can only be enacted by Congress?

If Congress made those illegal again I'm sure she'd enforce it vigorously. As she has done with what's left of anti-trust law.
