Yes, let's talk about Glass-Steagall TBF Jun 2015 #20

The purpose of Glass-Steagall was to prevent investment banks, insurers and retail banks... wyldwolf Jun 2015 #21

Yes. It was repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, signed into law by Pres. Clinton in 1999. Octafish Jun 2015 #30

The Gramm-Leach-Biley Act only repealed part of the Glass-Steagal but I bet.. wyldwolf Jun 2015 #31
