And your retort will be to ask for the Bill number and sponser may I say please stop in advance. You could be betting horses today instead of wasting your time.

You're a little late to the game, man. Glass-Steagal was repealed in the 90's. Does Occupy Wall Street have a Way Back Machine?

Nothing else to add aside from I'm relatively certain the two industries you cited have been as unsuccessful as any at influence over the last three or four years. If banking industry lobbyists ran the world, I'd guarantee you Dodd-Frank wouldn't be on the books. Likewise, the pharmaceutical industry and health reform.
