Both parties played a role in creating this mess, but arguably the two most pivotal events that got us here were Clinton's signature that repealed Glass-Steagall (hindsight is 20/20)
You realize the Senate supported the final bill 90-8, that the effort to get repeal through the Senate committee in the original bill passed on a party line vote, and the Clinton was opposed to Glass-Steagall repeal until it was linked in with the rest of the package in the conference committee package, at which point it was impossible not to veto it, right?
Glass Steagall repeal was basically passed under duress by Clinton. I don't get how the GOP gets off blaming him for it when it wouldn't have even been there had it not been for unanimous support by Republicans.
What, specifically, was included in the Glass-Steagall repeal bill that led Clinton to sign it?
