Financial reform bill: Will it prevent another collapse?

The new bill, reconciled in Congress early Friday, would impose sweeping new federal regulations on the financial industry.

After a 20-hour marathon, a House-Senate conference committee came to terms over what's now being called the Dodd-Frank bill, a massive overhaul of the nation's financial regulatory system. Among its key provisions:

鈥� A new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

鈥� A ban on "liar loans"

鈥� New powers to look out for "systemic risk" and break up "too big to fail" banks

鈥� A congressional audit of the Federal Reserve

鈥� A Wall Street tax

鈥� New curbs on executive pay

Do you think this bill addresses the root cause of the crisis?
