Glass-Steagall
Act passed in 1933 which regulated banking. Named for Sen. Carter Glass (D-VA) and Rep. Henry Steagall (D-AL 3rd). Also known as the Banking Act of 1933. Motivated by the Great Depression and one of the pillars of the New Deal.
Glass-Steagall prohibited commercial banks from engaging in underwriting securities, i.e., banks that accepted deposits and loaned money at interest were not allowed to issue bonds or new public offerings of stocks. The Act also authorized the creation of deposit insurance.
The Banking Act of '33 was strengthened in 1956 when bank holding companies were barred from the insurance business.
Between 1982 and 1999, banks were deregulated until the same corporation could take deposits, create credit, borrow from the Federal Reserve, underwrite stocks and bonds, operate a hedge fund, and sell insurance.

Glass-Steagall was repealed in stages between 1982 and 1999.
In 1990, the largest bank in the USA--CitiBank--held assets of $369.1 (2009 dollars); by 2009, it held over 5x that. Bank of America is now 13.24 times its size in 1990. The repeal of Glass-Steagall undeniably worsened our problem with banks that were too big to fail.

Holistic Steamroller
A Holistic Steamroller is something that crushes your mind, body and spirit. It is an occurrence or person that is so devastating to one part of oneself that it crushes the others also.
For example, a physical accident or illness can be so destructive that it tears down the mind and spirit, too. Or mental abuse can lead to a physical and spiritual demise, as well. Likewise, some terrible atrocity that cuts down the spirit will also afflict the body and mind, crippling the emotional life and causing physical illness.

Example one:
Caring person: hey how are you?
Sad lady: I'm fine. No, not really. I've been hit repeatedly by a holistic steamroller and I don't see the point anymore. I'm in physical pain, my man cares more about gadgets, fantasy women and food than he cares for me, and my friends just want what they can get from me. I feel used and neglected at the same time.
Example two:
Caring person: hey How are you? I heard you were in the hospital...
Afflicted Man: (mocking) yeah, I'm great!! I can't work, had a seizure, found out I have a cancerous brain tumor, my wife is a drunk, we have three babies to feed, and nobody gives, or ever has given, a shit! Howdya think I am???!!!
Caring person: (to self) that's a holistic steamroll if ever I saw one...

Steamroller
A weapon used for crushing/killing someone. Most effective when you drop it from mid air during stopped time.
I remember when a vampire dressed like a leprechaun sucked my granddad's blood and tried to flatten me with a Steamroller by dropping it on me from 20 feet in the air and proceeded to punch it while screaming "useless".
