Glass Steagall Act!
-------------------------------

Its not as good as Glass-Stegall, but its infinitely more than we would have ever got from that crazy old coot McCain and his Treasury Secretary Phil Gramm.

More like sweeping everything under the rug. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac still soak up tax payer funds either way!

Tooooooooo much government control. The government controls the banks, they fail and the government controls the banks again.

"To pay for the costs of the bill, negotiators agreed to assess a fee on banks with assets of more than $50 billion and hedge funds of more than $10 billion in assets to raise $19 billion over 10 years."

Why is it that Congress always finds a way to add cost to American citizens? The banks will simply pass this "fee" on to the American people. Some reform. How about Congress doing something that will help lessen the burden on us. These are the same jerks who passed the stupid health care bill that will make health care more expensive for the majority of Americans. These are the same jerks who put that crap on us, but have no plan to substitute their cushy health care coverage with what they imposed on American citizens.
