La enmienda ayudar\u00e1 a poner fin a los conflictos de intereses como los revelados en Goldman Sachs, enfocar\u00e1 a los bancos en su misi\u00f3n principal de otorgar pr\u00e9stamos a empresas e individuos, y garantizar\u00e1 que los contribuyentes nunca m\u00e1s se vean obligados a rescatar las amargas apuestas de Wall Street.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEs inaceptable seguir permitiendo que Wall Street anteponga sus apuestas a corto plazo a la prosperidad a largo plazo de Main Street America\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEn los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, hemos visto que el comercio de alto riesgo result\u00f3 en rescates masivos de los contribuyentes para los grandes bancos. Y en los \u00faltimos d\u00edas, hemos visto c\u00f3mo el comercio por cuenta propia puede causar conflictos de intereses cuando las empresas apuestan contra valores que ayudan a reunir para sus clientes. Si una empresa quiere hacer girar la rueda de la ruleta con bonos y valores riesgosos, no la vamos a detener. Pero necesitan sacarlo del sistema bancario del que dependen millones de familias estadounidenses y peque\u00f1as empresas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><p>\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de los estadounidenses no pueden entender c\u00f3mo estas instituciones financieras pueden hacer apuestas multimillonarias contra valores que venden a sus clientes y embolsarse las ganancias cuando esas apuestas tienen \u00e9xito, y luego hacer que los contribuyentes los rescaten cuando las apuestas fallan\u201d, dijo Levin. \u201cEsta legislaci\u00f3n aborda los conflictos de intereses que han marcado demasiadas transacciones de Wall Street. Tal vez no podamos detener la codicia extrema que se encuentra detr\u00e1s de estos conflictos, pero podemos actuar para poner fin a los conflictos que han permitido grandes beneficios\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>La legislaci\u00f3n es similar a la \u201cRegla Volcker\u201d propuesta por el ex presidente de la Reserva Federal, Paul Volcker. Sobre la enmienda Merkley-Levin, Volcker dijo hoy en un comunicado que estaba &quot;muy alentado por los esfuerzos de los senadores Merkley y Levin para aclarar y mejorar las restricciones comerciales de propiedad contenidas en el proyecto de ley Dodd&quot;. La enmienda tambi\u00e9n cuenta con el apoyo del presidente de Banca, Vivienda y Asuntos Urbanos, Chris Dodd, y el Departamento del Tesoro.<\/p>\n<p>La enmienda Merkley-Levin restringir\u00eda el comercio por cuenta propia en los bancos y otras instituciones financieras grandes e importantes. Al mantener a nuestros bancos y otras instituciones financieras grandes y complejas alejadas de estas actividades riesgosas, el proyecto de ley ayudar\u00e1 a proteger al contribuyente de los rescates y el da\u00f1o a la econom\u00eda que proviene de la quiebra de instituciones financieras cr\u00edticas. Al mismo tiempo, el proyecto de ley deja mucho espacio para que las empresas m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as realicen transacciones especulativas, pero fuera de los bancos comerciales respaldados por los contribuyentes. En concreto, el proyecto de ley:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Proh\u00edbe a los bancos, sociedades de cartera bancarias y sus afiliadas y subsidiarias participar en especulaciones de alto riesgo que involucren acciones, bonos, opciones, materias primas, derivados u otros valores o instrumentos financieros. Tambi\u00e9n proh\u00edbe que esas entidades inviertan o patrocinen un fondo de cobertura o un fondo de capital privado.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Requiere que las instituciones financieras no bancarias masivas y sist\u00e9micamente cr\u00edticas (es decir, casas de inversi\u00f3n gigantes de Wall Street cuya quiebra da\u00f1ar\u00e1 el sistema bancario y el acceso al cr\u00e9dito) reserven capital adicional para disminuir el riesgo planteado por el comercio especulativo.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Proh\u00edbe los conflictos de inter\u00e9s, como vimos cuando Goldman Sachs apost\u00f3 contra los paquetes de valores que reuni\u00f3 y vendi\u00f3 a sus clientes.<\/p>\n<p>La enmienda est\u00e1 copatrocinada por los senadores Sherrod Brown (OH), Ted Kaufman (DE), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Dianne Feinstein (CA), Bob Casey (PA), Bill Nelson (FL), Roland Burris (IL), Mark Begich (AK), Daniel Inouye (HI), Sheldon Whitehouse (CT), Claire McCaskill (MO), Mark Udall (CO), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Bernie Sanders (VT) y Tom Udall (NM).<\/p>\n<p>Esta legislaci\u00f3n ha sido respaldada por John Reed, ex presidente y director ejecutivo de Citibank, Bill; los destacados economistas Robert Reich y Robert Johnson, Director de Pol\u00edtica Econ\u00f3mica del Instituto Roosevelt; y las principales organizaciones que piden una reforma real de Wall Street, incluidos Americans for Financial Reform, Independent Community Bankers of America, AFL-CIO, Main Street, Alliance, A New Way Forward, Bold Nebraska, California Reinvestment Coalition, Campaign for America&#039;s Future, Center for Media and Democracy, Consumer Watchdog, Consumers Union, Demos, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Jobs with Justice, National People&#039;s Action, Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project (NEDAP-NY), Public Citizen, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), EE.
