In the wake of the tragic events at Peregrine Financial Group in Cedar Falls, I'm saddened that people have lost their jobs. Unfortunately, we've seen this movie before on the big screen - think Wall Street in the last months of the Bush presidency in 2008.
Mitt Romney appears to believe our financial sector needs less regulation. We have just learned a valuable lesson about why he is wrong.
