As the Senate continues its debate on a financial reform bill, the Institute for America's Future Report, "Big Bank Takeover," looks at who's really behind the scenes attempting to control the debate. In this podcast, Bob Borosage, Co-Director, Campaign for America’s Future; Stephen Lerner, Director, Service Employees International Union’s Banking and Finance Campaign; Kevin Connor, Co-Director, Public Accountability Initiative, and George Goehl, Executive Director, National People’s Action, discuss the revolving door of government officials and lobbyists used by the financial sector to stymie reform and the "Showdown on K Street" planned to counter the financial sector's influence.
