and gramm voted for it in the house??

do you know the senate is not the house of representatives?



I also know that this bill came from the house, not the senate.


gramm wasn't in the house. according to the US constitution, there are
2 houses in congress.


The fact is, everybody who voted for this bill knew what it was and
Clinton, who signed it into law knew what it was.


well, no. gramm ammended the bill on 12/15. it was a 262 page
addendum to an 11,000 page bill. do you think anyone paid attention?


That addendum was H..R.5660 (look it up)
Do you really think nobody knew about that?


yeah. i think no one knew about it.

How about the house members who wrote it?


gramm was in the senate. and it was an addendum to an 11,000 page
bill. which actually happens all the time. rarely with such
consequences
