"On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) into law. This landmark legislation does much to unravel the influence of the Glass-Steagall Act on the United States' financial system.
Now banks and other providers of financial services have far greater freedom to compete against each other. No doubt, the legislation will prompt an altering of the financial landscape in this country."
John Krainer, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Economic Review, 2000
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying out in pain, for the old order of things will pass away. 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give you to drink freely from the springs of the water of life. All those who are faithful and persevere will inherit my creation. And I will be their Father, and they will be my children."
Revelation 21:3-7
