Also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramm–Leach–Bliley_Act

That Gramm guy is Phil Gramm, who later went on to say that the recession was all in our head's and that we're a nation of whiners. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/10/mccain-adviser-amer...

He also happened to be McCain's chief economic advisor and a co-chair of McCain's national campaign during the 2008 Presidential campaign. http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/18/news/newsmakers/tully_gramm....

Too bad we elected a socialist to the White House. Think how much better we'd be off with McCain and Palin right now! Goldman Sachs would be just fine! The economy would be great! Phil Gramm would be vindicated!

Or we'd be living in the economic equivalent of the Weimar Republic right now. Yeah, that's probably more likely.
