shtsqsh, Wow. Some people do tend to see information offered to question a questionable
position as invalid and easily label it as cherry picking or a 'stuck in the mud' attempt at brainwashing.

I'm surprised you would take it so personally. Clinton signed it, but yes you would have in his position too .. deregulation was
the conservative and the financial flavor for years before, and you have been given links to help you maybe to consider that more ..

By the time the bill got to Clinton's desk Glass-Steagall had been gutted as clean any gutted water creature you could ever buy.

If Clinton really believed it was the best thing to do he and all the others before him have been proven
wrong. If he signed it because he felt he had no other option at the time, that would be open to debate.

Whatever, Clinton certainly was not the one most responsible for the financial instability and abuse which followed. That's what you initially claimed, i think.

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
