Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999-Part 1

[generatordoc]

I wish I was sharp enough to get a large enough contingent of people together to get this piece of crap legislation repealed. Byron Dorgan is right on. Fox in the henhouse, for sure.

[OneNationUnderCanada]

People are so brainwashed. They thing voting for different parties has an effect but regardless who is elected because we already sold our souls to the banks with the financial modernization act 1999. The only outcome is people smarten up organize via social networks and demand the repeal of gram leach bliley act.

Throw in Brooksley Born + you've got my vote!!

The financial system of this country will collapse sooner or later, it is just the nature of human that people are greedy, selfish and always try find ways to exploit the system

[MsZeitgeist85]

Thank you Byron Dorgan. Phil Gramm Roast in hell you piece of shit.

@MsZeitgeist85 : For additional information that will really make you mad see

Behind the Meltdown and Bailouts Pt1 Pt2 Pt3 Pt4. Brooksley Born chairman of

the CFTC in 1998 tried to regulate derivatives and was pretty much hammered

by Phil Gramm in committee. Also, Greenspan, Rubin, and Summers as a group killed any chance she had of being effective.

@MsZeitgeist85 7 Dems brave enough to vote against: Dorgan (ND) Feingold (WI) Wellstone (MN) Mikulski (MD) Harkin (IA) Boxer (CA) Bryan (NV) 1 Republican voting against! Shelby (AL)-----I've always wondered why!

[Daventex]

Dorgan is a true American Leader. Not bought and paid for by corporations. This speech was made in 1999. By the way, Phil Grahm said there was no debate about this. Corporate influence and greed is the stock and trade of Phil Grahm.

Love Dorgan.ThIs was one of the worst pieces of legislation this country has had .Let's get the money interests out of this already-they make billions in profits and we pay the price.

[MeritisDE]

And now he will retire.

This is most unfortunate.

[MeritisDE]

Thank you Senator.  I am sorry to see that most will not bother to take the time to listen to this.

[MoralMoney]

What were "we" thinking? This video makes it obvious what the Dem's were thinking. What the hell were the Republican's thinking? When you have a dogmatic belief in "free markets" you get what you've got today. It's really a sham... er, a shame.

[ChazzyJoe]

Damn, what the hell were we all thinking???

[badnewswade]

then we're all fucked, because there's always going to be some obliging demagogue willing to play up to that. The ones you've had so far are relatively benign, but that kind of luck might not hold out for long.

[Beelzebud]

Spread this around. This is a very important video.

[vbd1311]

Thanks for posting this (and part 2). Good stuff. Wish he was in charge now.
