Liberal glasses are the dark and thick-rimmed glasses, typically square in shape, favored by liberals. They are worn in an attempt to appear intellectually superior. Also called "hipster glasses." It is a safe bet that when somebody wears them, they ascribe to a left-leaning ideology. The majority of people who wear liberal glasses are also white.
Jay Carney, Tina Fey, and Janeane Garofalo wear stereotypical liberal glasses.
"Will" wore liberal glasses to signify both his intellectual superiority and his submission to his feminist wife. As long as he wore the magical liberal glasses, he was free to talk down to everybody until his wife called. Then he would apologize for every trivial hardship she encountered, like having to pump her own gas or call somebody to confirm an appointment.

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Glass-Steagall was repealed in stages between 1982 and 1999.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.
