AND if you go he

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2000-273

you see that the REPUBLICANS passed this bill. ONLY THREE DEMOCRATS
voted for it.


so this dolchstoss for american has CONSERVATIVE written all over it.



Bob I am not sure what they are really talking about. The vote you
reference was taken in June. That was before anything happened to it
in the Senate.


both the house AND senate were GOP controlled

ALL the committee chairs in BOTH houses supported the bill

The final vote on that bill was taken 12/15/2000 6:38pm: (vote 603)
That is glossed over in your article as "differences resolved"


Don't you remember your allegation of Gramm stuffing an amendment into
this bill in December?
Lets look at vote 603

This is the Library of Congress,. not another opinion site that you
googled up.


an opinion site?? uh..since when is a record of which members of
congress voted for/against a bill an 'opinion'?

do you know what an opinion IS??

and let's look at what the consensus of economic opinion is regarding
the financial meltdown is, shall we??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Gramm


In its 2008 coverage of the financial crisis, The Washington Post
named Gramm one of seven "Key Players In the Battle Over Regulating
Derivatives", for having "[p]ushed through several major bills to
deregulate the banking and investment industries, including the 1999
Gramm-Leach-Bliley act that brought down the walls separating the
commercial banking, investment and insurance industries".[16]

2008 Nobel Laureate in Economics Paul Krugman, a supporter of Barack
Obama and former President Bill Clinton, described Gramm during the
2008 presidential race as "the high priest of deregulation," and has
listed him as the number two person responsible for the economic
crisis of 2008 behind only Alan Greenspan.[17][18] On October 14,
2008, CNN ranked Gramm number seven in its list of the 10 individuals
most responsible for the current economic crisis.[19]

In January 2009 Guardian City editor Julia Finch identified Gramm as
one of twenty-five people who were at the heart of the financial
meltdown.[20] Time included Gramm in its list of the top 25 people to
blame for the economic crisis.[21]


you can run but you can't hide. the fact is this dolchstoss had the
greedy right wing...gramm and greenspan, as its authors
