Well if you go aback 6 years bank regulation decreased, make it 15 years and regulation has increased dramatically.
Really you could stretch that back out to 100 years and bank regulation has trended higher, so it'd seem only a very short time scale has regulation decreasing.
That seems way too long to reasonably be considered relevant to modern banking in the US. At one end, it pre-dates this country, and the other still pre-dates the start of the gold standard, let alone its end.
100 years seems reasonable. That would include the gold standard change, some significant monetary changes, and the great depression. I disagree that banking regulation is too much, but I do think the Federal government has an obligation to make regulation implementation easier to implement. We also have some non-sensical banking regulations that continue to victimize sex workers for the sake of it, so I think it's a mixed bag.
