27 Democratic Senators against breaking up the big banks.
Someday people are not going to take it anymore, but when? How to deal with the robber barons, the horse thieves, those who caused the melt down, or those who enabled it, whether on Wall St or in Congress?
Amendment to break up the "TOO BIG TO FAIL" banks fails (Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010) Vote Result: Amendment Rejected
This amendment required the too big to fail banks to be broken up. Under Brown-Kaufman, no bank could hold more than 10 percent of the total amount of insured deposits, and a limit would have been placed on liabilities.

Financial reform will be the defining issue for the 2010 elections. This
will be the defining fight of our generation. These financial behemoths are oligarchs with way, way too much power in our economy and political system.
