We learned during the 2008
financial crisis that Wall Street is not just taking risks with their
own money -- they are taking risks with the whole economy.
A new Glass-Steagall would
separate high-risk investment banks from more traditional banking. It
would allow Wall Street to take risks, but not by dipping into the life
savings and retirement accounts of regular people.
And by making banks smaller, a new Glass-Steagall could also help put
an end to banks that are "too big to fail" -- further avoiding costly
taxpayer bailouts.Please help us pass a new Glass-Steagall Act. Join the fight here.
I've already talked about this petition on MSNBC, and I'll keep my Senate colleagues informed of the growing public support for this reform.
By mobilizing people across the nation, we can get this done.
Thank you,
Senator Elizabeth Warren
