Forum Post: Glass Steagall Act

The main problem with Wall Street is that Congress repealed the Glass Steagall Act, which kept banking and investing separate. Because we no longer have a separation between banking and investing we have financial chaos. America must reinstate the Glass Steagall Act.

GS is one more thing to add to the list of goals. That said, I think it would be very telling to see which members voted for the repeal, and if they are still in Congress.

This has to be a goal if we really want to make a change.

Add this to the "official demand" list, take out silly things like "free education" and "guaranteed income."

Let's get real here.
