Reagan fucked everything up, of course, but we cannot forget about Bill Clinton overseeing the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act

    Clinton had a GOP Congress.

    If you want a lesson, it's vote in every election and always mark your ballot to hurt the GOP worse.

    and congress had numbers, overwhelming numbers. it was a bi-partisan bill that passed 362-57 & 90-8. it was gonna happen with or without his signature.

    Seriously? It's about posterity. It's about this exact argument that we are having right now.

    Make them work for it, and make them go on record forever that they support it. I can only assume Clinton himself supported it since he signed it into law when he could have vetoed it.
