Not sure which is more amusing.
Mr. BP denying that Clinton and the Democrats were whores to Wall
Street, or Mr. Gfretwell blaming the country's economic woes on Clinton.
And Mr. BP bemoans his 401k losses, while not seeing the need to keep
401k's inflated was what drove both Democrats and Republicans to whore
for Wall Street.

I am not blaming Clinton alone but agreeing with you that they are ALL
whores to wall street.
BP seems to believe the democrats have totally clean hands in all of
this.

nope. the real thieves were the free market fundamentalists on BOTH
sides who thought capitalism, unregulated and unrestrainted, would
solve all problems.

the left at least never believed this story. the right went from free
market fundies to free market anarchists who thought ANY regulation
was evil

The fact remains it was 51 republicans and 9 democrats who had
the balls to vote against this bill. Clinton had the power to try to
stop it but not the votes to sustain a veto because too many democrats
supported it. He did not even complain a little. He told us how great
it was and signed it.

11,000 pages...and gramm added 262 pages on 12/15. right before the
xmas holiday.

no one reads a bill this large. gramm knew that. it was a procedural
ploy for his friends, just like he now works for UBS
