Clinton is the one who dismantled the FDR era banking regulations.

Bill Clinton only signed the bill that the GOP house and senate sent
him. IT was not his bill. He can be blaimed for going along but
the GOP wanted those changes for thirty years.

"Only" signed the bills? Bull****. He went on TV and told us how
great the bills would be.
They were also passed with overwhelming democratic support. The CFMA
that deregulated the derivatives was passed unanimously in the senate

The other part of that is although it was passed by a GOP-controlled
Congress the final vote on passage of the bill to repeal Glass-Stagall
had around 10 nays in the House and passed the Senate by a VOICE vote.
You can't get a whole lot more bipartisan than that. Maybe
bipartisanship isn't always a good thing, huh?
Interesting tidbit, there are about 3 laws that someone or another
has pointed to as "reasons" for the collapse. Every last one of them
was passed with low double digit nays in the House and high single
digit nays in the Senate... if there was even a recorded vote in the
Senate.
Also, if you look at the actual votes, you will note that..
although
it pains me deeply to admit this... Barney Franks was the only person
in a leadership position who voted against everyone of these bills
every chance he got. Pelosi, and Reid voted for the bill, even the
preliminary bills passed before the final conference. So Franks is the
only with a legitimate voice in opposition to my mind.

Ummm ... WHo paid big money into the re-election campaigns of thes
Congresscritters?

OK, 'nuf said.
