U.S Senators who voted on the Bill which repealed of the Glass-Stengall Act.

It seem the Key to the Modern American Finacial Fiasco , was the Repeal of a law called the 'Glass- Stengall Act". The Glass-Stengall act was originally designed after the great depreession to regulate banking by keeping customer savings separate from banking investment. By Repealing the act allowed banks to speculate with savings. Though I may not have described it right,it is agreeded by many economic pundits that its repeal allowed for this big finacial fiansco we seemed to be in.

Though the Bill for the repeal of this act was sponsored by some republicans mainly, Phil Gramm of Texas. It was finally signed into law during the Democratic Clinton Administration, and his treasury advisor, Bob Rubin.
