A tale of two pictures

Here’s a snapshot of FDR & Co. in 1933 as they signed Glass-Steagall, which separated the financial sector into safer, deposit-taking commercial banks and risk-taking investment banks – Wall Street.

And here’s a photo of Bill Clinton & Co. repealing Glass-Steagall in 1999, with the passage of the Graham-Leach-Bliley act known as the Financial Services Modernization Act.

Greenscam looks as if he's rubbing them together fiendishly.
"Nation of Whiners" Gramm looks as if he's saying "That's that!" to Teh Evuuul Regulashins!
Leach and Bliley are grinning like sheer idiots.
You can't see it, but Boehoehoehoehner and Larry Summers are also part of this cabal of Wall Street-owned tools.

"All in all, I think we hit the jackpot." . . . Part Two.

Fascinating.
