The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will end taxpayer-funded bailouts and ‘too big to fail' financial institutions, protects consumers from predatory lending, safeguards our retirement and college savings from unnecessary risks, and injects transparency and new accountability into a financial system run amok. The bill passed with a Democratic majority.
