Yup.. this left the door open for our current situation to transpire. http://www.allbusiness.com/legal/laws/675369-1.html?yahss=114-2974554-675369&siap=1 "[..] the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act (GLBA), repealing after 66 years the Glass-Steagall Act that prohibited cross-sector affiliation between the banking and securities industries. It also repealed the 1956 Bank Holding Company Act, which prohibited unions between the banking and insurance industries." Nov 30, 2008 11:22 AM - how many pages was this GLBA? -
