Which party over the years has pushed deregulation more than the other? .. GWB belonged to the party which comes to my mind ..

shtsqsh, i don't think you have been given these yet .. just to consider how blame for the WFC could be better apportioned than you initially did ..

Glass–Steagall was virtually neutered by the time Clinton signed
.. neutered by years of free-market fervor, pushed by you-know-who ..

GWB was always a deregulation guy, and he was President for 8 years before the 2008 crash .. seems
you could have better addressed the first bit of your post to SoxFan, anyway, i think his position taken
in context, and not read clinically literally, was more on the mark than this bit from your link ..

"In 1999, Democrats led by President Bill Clinton and Republicans led by Sen.
Phil Gramm joined forces to repeal Glass-Steagall at the behest of the big banks."

which, since we all know the Republicans were the biggest legislative deregulation drivers though the '60's to 1999, leaves a false
equivalence .. so no .. i don't think his was total bs .. and as far as rewriting history goes, well, seems to me GWB and his
side do much more of that, too .. lol, on that note i wonder how the conservative attempt to re-write the bible is going

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
