It took years before what Clinton did by repealing the Glass–Steagall Act came home to roast in 2005-2008. To be honest the act had become less effective over the years due to new financial institutions and instruments that were invented to circumvent the Glass-Steagall Act. Regulations covered fewer financial instruments like credit default swaps and finally the collective memory of the reasons for the regulations faded.
Extra money is tight only the wealthy have plenty of discretionary funds to toss around. IMHO
