This was the genesis of the problems we are facing today. [KLAXON!!!] Wrong! "The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (Republican of Texas) and in the House of Representatives by Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by Republican majorities on party lines by a 54-44 vote in the Senate[12] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[13]. After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bipartisan bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8 (1 not voting) and in the House: 362-57 (15 not voting). Having majorities large enough to override any possible Presidential veto, the legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-Steagall_Act Yeah, you are right, it was just before he took office the first time. I remember Bush complaining about it and then doing nothing about it though. It's not like he didn't know it happened. In any event it shows how both parties work toward destabilizing the financial system these days. Me and Phil Gramm go back a long ways. You did say you were from Texas. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
