that's not too surprising...........who else but the republican party would write a budget proposal without any numbers?

When asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer about Republicans who wanted a free market, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) insisted "there was no deregulation of anything in the financial services industries. As a matter of fact, there was an increase in regulation." He forgot about the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Bill, which in 1999 repealed the Glass-Steagall Act and allowed banks, securities firms and other types of financial institutions to join together to offer consumer services, and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which deregulated futures trading and specified that products offered by financial institutions would not be regulated as futures contracts. That bill was incorporated into the Omnibus Budget Bill in December 2000. Boehner voted for both bills. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
