I think it's great that the house and senate finally found a compromise for the financial reform deal. Banks have been in total control of the entire country's assets for much, much too long!
The best thing to come out of this is the newly-instituted Volcker rule. It puts a limit on proprietary trading, in other words the type of trading that only benefits banks instead of their clients.
I will say that it's rather amusing that banks have now become more "consumer-centric" because of this rule. I can't wait to see what kind of loopholes banks exploit to get around this, though.
