Curbing the Influence of Big Banks: 3 Reforms proposed by Sanders

Bernie has it right in trying to curb the enormous power of the banking establishment.

  2. Reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act which for decades prevented “investment banks” from combining with “commercial banks.”
  3. Reducing conflicts of interest at the Fed.
