One year ago today, President Obama signed the Wall Street Reform bill into law.
This groundbreaking law does three important things. First, it brings to an end taxpayer funded bailouts -- so taxpayers will never again be left paying the bill if a big bank fails.

And third, this law puts in place the strongest consumer protections in history.
