Nothing would have happened if Gramm wasn't pushing it. You know what he
does now, right? He's pimping for a swiss bank.

Rubin was pimping for Citi Group until they fired him last year. If
Obama had not hired Geithner and Summers they would be Wall Street
execs somewhere too.
The fact remains that Gramm was not acting alone. He had the full
support of the Clinton administration.

no, he didn't. if he did, he wouldnt have found it necessary to
filibuster the bill. that's why it got passed. if clinton had
supported it, it would have passed congress without gramm's
filibuster.
