Now isn't that exactly what I have been saying for two weeks?
Notice it is "HR" That means House of Representatives.

and isn't that what i've been saying for 2 weeks? he introduced it as
the senators had their hats on and were walking out the door?

So you are saying the Wikipedia article you referenced is wrong. Why
did you cite it?

i didn't say it was wrong. you cant read. what i said was that gramm
introduced a 262 page bill at the last minute, under threat of
filibuster, to an 11,000 page omnibus funding bill. no one read his
bill and he was able to do for wall street what the GOP is doing
today...

make it possible for the rich to transfer risk to taxpayers and keep
wealth for themselves

The idea that nobody knew what he was up to is contradicted with your
assertion that he threatened to filibuster if he didn't get it.

well no. all that he had to do was threaten to filibuster if any
oppostion or questioning was raised at all.

A agree Gramm was the driving force in this but it was far from a
secret.

you still havent accounted for the fact the 11,000 page bill was
ammended on12/15 at the last moment.

gee. wonder why he did that? perhaps because he didn't want anyone to
read his thievery and wall street oriented greed was now becoming law?
