Wall Street reform is critical to creating jobs and growing our economy. As we rebuild America, we must ensure that Wall Street won't gamble again with our futures. I support the Restoring American Financial Stability Act because it includes commonsense reforms to hold Wall Street and the big banks accountable. This bill will end bailouts by ensuring taxpayers are never again on the hook for Wall Street's risky decisions and will rein in big banks and their big bonuses. It protects families' retirement funds, college savings, homes and businesses' financial futures from unnecessary risk by lenders. It also safeguards the American people from predatory lending abuses, which resulted in millions of foreclosures over the past few years. The American people deserve and want these reforms. Let's give Americans what they deserve: fairness in the financial system. ____________________
