2010 www.amazon.com Watch more clips: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com United States President Barack Obama and key advisers introduced a series of regulatory proposals in June 2009. The proposals address consumer protection, executive pay, bank financial cushions or capital requirements, expanded regulation of the shadow banking system and derivatives, and enhanced authority for the Federal Reserve to safely wind-down systemically important institutions, among others. In January 2010, Obama proposed additional regulations limiting the ability of banks to engage in proprietary trading. The proposals were dubbed “The Volcker Rule”, in recognition of Paul Volcker, who has publicly argued for the proposed changes. The US Senate passed a regulatory reform bill in May 2010, following the House which passed a bill in December 2009. These bills must now be reconciled.

This fraudulent, corporate looting is transferring wealth from ordinary citizens to the ultra-rich, consolidating global power. This is unprecedented in world history.
