Speaking of being found out .. did you know this .. Good Lord .. I never realize what that was all about

This past November, President Clinton signed into law the Financial Services Modernization Act, thereby repealing the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act and permitting commercial banks, securities firms and insurance companies to merge with each other on a scale not seen since the 1929 stock market crash. In reporting of this watershed moment, the mainstream press refused to offer any criticism of the substance of the legislation or the corrupt political process that brought it about.

Yes, I remember a friend being especially riled about it at the time. He was upset that the press gave Clinton another free ride. He said it wasn't surprising the press all thought Clinton was brilliant because he outsmarted them everyday.

You need to remember that repeal of Glass-Steagall was a Republican priority for 40 years.
