The Clinton administration also pulled back on regulations for banks and Wall Street, which critics have argued was one of the reasons for the economic collapse and bailout in 2008.  

Both the presumptive nominee of the Republican party Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders have tied Hillary Clinton to her husband’s policies on trade and Wall Street regulation, making the topics cornerstones of their campaigns.
