Congress Sends Financial Overhaul Bill to Obama - NYTimes.com

Congress Sends Financial Overhaul Bill to Obama - NYTimes.com: "Mr. Reid turned to his home state for a metaphor. “When you go to any of the great casinos across Nevada and put your chips on the table, you’re gambling with your own money,” Mr. Reid said. “You win, you win. And if you lose, you lose. But Wall Street rigged the game. They put our money on the table. When they won, they won big. The jackpots they took home were in the billions. But when they lost — and boy, did they lose big — they came crying to the taxpayers for help.”"
