Signing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

2. Thank you for posting this.

It's astonishing how self-congratulatory this group is, as they dismantle the financial regulatory safety net -- which was set up during the great depression -- leading to the worst financial crisis since the great depression.

There was big money to be made from it (as there always is when you break a law) and it went through like greased lightning. Such cooperation from all quarters! Phil Gramm, the senior senator behind the bill, left politics shortly afterwards to become an executive in the financial sector -- reaping the private benefits of his public actions.

It's fascinating to watch Larry Summers lead the proceedings. This is the same Larry Summers that was considered to be the leading candidate to be the new Fed Chairman only a few months ago. Stunning!!!!

These people should be in jail.

It's sickening that they're still strutting around, smirking ...
