Don't You Think It's Time to Reinstate Glass-Steagall?

By Nomi Prins
From Truthout
November 20th, 2009

Truthout — It's amazing how downright ebullient President Bill Clinton was at that signing ceremony on November 12, 1999 for the law that repealed the Glass-Steagall financial regulations. Those restricting, anti-competitive Depression era laws were finally behind us. Awesome. Fast-forward to now and most of us know how devastatingly expensive that signature was for the American public.

This bipartisan affirmation of the imperial executive could "reverberate for generations", warns Jack Balkin, a specialist on First Amendment freedoms at Yale Law School. "...these (are) but some of the early fruits from the hybrid seeds that the "war on terror" has planted on American soil. Yet surprisingly few Americans seem aware of the toll that this already endless war has taken on our civil liberties... "

The banking lobby, as corporate lobbies are wont to do, can build a wonderful Potemkin village of consumer delights, where a defanged government beholden to business interests smiles as unfettered CEOs and marketers rack up their profits and where only the buyer need beware.

This particular village, however, is as flimsy as it is fake, as Damon Silvers, the policy director at the AFL-CIO, demonstrated in a face-off with the banking industry's chief lobbyist, American Bankers Association president Edward Yingling sponsored by the Aspen Institute.
