Did Obama get his ACA passed with out any help from Congress?

BTW I'd be all for the breaking up of the big banks deemed to big to fail and definitely reinstate the part of the Glass-Steagall Act that separated commercial and investment banking.

Banks need to be making their money off of loans to businesses and individuals, their money should be no where near the stock market. All they are doing there is playing Russian Roulette. It will only be a matter of time before one of them bites the bullet from a bad stock market investment and we (the taxpayers) have to bail them out.

If it's profit and not holdings, why not?

I don't have any issue with businesses investing in investments. As a business they should be exploring avenues of making revenue.
