This weekend on an encore episode of Moyers & Company, Bill talks with former Citigroup Chairman John Reed and former Senator Byron Dorgan to explore a momentous instance: how the mid-90s merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group — and a friendly presidential pen — brought down the Glass-Steagall Act, a crucial firewall between banks and investment firms which had protected consumers from financial calamity since the aftermath of the Great Depression. In effect, says Moyers, they put the watchdog to sleep.

There aren't that many actual supporters on here any more. Even some of the "supporters" are fakes just trolling the other end of the spectrum. Most of the crap on here now is the work of two individuals with over 100 different user names. Continuing conversations through a variety of user names, answering their own questions, replying to their own posts, ect..
