I agree that this is the heart of the issue.
And the American people are about to elect back into the White House the couple that presided over the repeal of the Glass Steagal Act.
So much for learned lessons.
- illumin8 11y agoTo be fair, Clinton only signed the law - it was created and voted for by a Republican majority congress. Look at the votes - every Republican senator voted Yea and only one Democrat voted Nay: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/s105 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/s105 He still shouldn't have signed it, but to blame this law on the Clintons is really not being honest.
- guelo 11y agoThat's not the final vote. It passed 90-8 in the senate and 362-57 in the house. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/s354 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/s354 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/h570 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/106-1999/h570
