2010/04/20/MNV01D1270.DTL#ixzz0ldktKx1g> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/yyk7s42>Emboldened by the major fraud allegations against Goldman Sachs & Co., the Obama administration and Senate Democrats said Monday that they will push this week for a crucial vote on a sweeping overhaul of financial regulations, daring Republicans to block it and be labeled as caring more about Wall Street than average Americans.
"This comes down to this basic question: Whose side are you on?" said Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn. "Are you on the side of those who oppose this?"
Large financial institutions and some business groups, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, oppose key provisions of the legislation and have been lobbying aggressively against it for months.
With all 41 Republicans signing a letter last week vowing to oppose the legislation as it stands, Democrats are challenging them - particularly moderates such as Susan Collins of Maine - to vote against bringing the bill up for debate on Wednesday or Thursday.
<snip>The overhaul would try to prevent future economic crises by tightening government oversight of financial firms, regulating the complex derivatives market for the first time, creating a new agency to protect consumers in the financial marketplace and granting the government broad new powers to seize and dismantle huge financial firms on the brink of failure if their collapse would threaten the economy.
