Re authorize Glass-Stiegal.

Why?

Increase equity and liquidity requirements.

They keep raising capital requirements. Then they're shocked that banks don't lend and the economy doesn't grow.

That will do much to handle the matter.

Only if you want more stagnation.

Because commercial banks and investment banks are two different types of entities. Risk capital for investment banks is different. Loan loss reserves should be 3 percent or better capital adequacy 15 percent.
