Look at the votes on Gramm-Leach-Bliley.
155 house democrats and 38 democratic senators voted for it
Bill Clinton signed it into law
yep because they got stampeded...just like you have...by the myth of
the 'free market'. even after the biggest collapse in US history you
still thump your chest and tell us how the markets need to be
deregulated.

Bill Clinton was in front of that stampede. Did you watch the signing?
He was telling us this was the best thing since sliced bread.

I am not in favor with the way we have bent over for the big bankers
but I am also not brainwashed enough to believe this was all the
republican's fault. They are all doing it. When you see who buys these
politicians it shouldn't surprise you.
In fact it was the democrats who killed H.R.4161 in 2005 that would
have regulated Fannie/Freddie and would have tempered this housing
crisis. That was Dodd and Frank.

Uh, oh, there's a few here that's going to find exception with you
actually blaming anything bad on the conservatives.....
