Congress sends Obama sweeping Wall Street bill
Congress sent legislation to President Barack Obama Thursday that imposes sweeping new regulations on Wall Street and creates new protections for millions of consumers.
The Senate's 60-39 vote came nearly two years after a financial crisis knocked the economy to its knees.
At a whopping 2,300 pages, the legislation is designed to rein in big banks and protect consumers in hopes of averting a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. Its ultimate impact, however, will depend on the government regulators assigned to implement it.

Hope LD got a chance to read it since 60 passed it.
