by Wayne Powell

It’s time to tighten regulations in the economic areas that brought about the recession of 2008.

In addition, the Department of Justice should aggressively pursue any Wall Street official who committed criminal fraud damaging the people and the economy of the US through the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
