The U.S. Senate is taking up amendments to the financial reform bill and Senator Durbin has come out in favor of the Brown-Kaufman amendment, which would break up too-big-to-fail banks and cap the size of banks. From The Huffington Post:
“Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the Senate’s number two Democrat, took to the floor Tuesday to back an amendment to Wall Street reform that would break up big banks so that they are no longer too big to fail.”
