You were following the progression of the conversation about the two
major bank de-regulation bills and who voted for them?
You really can't blame either one of them on either party. In fact 51
of the 60 representatives who voted AGAINST the 2000 commodities
deregulation act that allowed all of those credit default swaps were
republicans. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2000/roll603.xml

The senate passed it with unanimous consent


And, 133 voted for it. And, 157 others voted for it. Seems pretty evenly
divided...


Look at who voted against it. Those are the guys who knew it was
trouble.



Maybe, it that one instance. I'm better they didn't vote against similar in
the years prior or since.
