Why doesn't our Congress grow a pair and re-pass Glass-Steagall? You know that the Big Banks will, all of a sudden, have foreign outlets that will do the derivative trading that has been going on over the past 14 years. Money talks. They have the mon ey and the lawyers. Theirs have been better than ours and will continue to be until we can get rid of those in Congress who make a good "retirement" living by the lobbying dollars they receive from these fatcats.
