Reagan fucked everything up, of course, but we cannot forget about Bill Clinton overseeing the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act

Clinton had a GOP Congress.
If you want a lesson, it's vote in every election and always mark your ballot to hurt the GOP worse.
Clinton had veto power.
and congress had numbers, overwhelming numbers. it was a bi-partisan bill that passed 362-57 & 90-8. it was gonna happen with or without his signature.
Cool. Then make them do it.
What's the point in that?
Seriously? It's about posterity. It's about this exact argument that we are having right now.
Make them work for it, and make them go on record forever that they support it. I can only assume Clinton himself supported it since he signed it into law when he could have vetoed it.
Except it was passed overwhelmingly. Veto would've delayed the inevitable and been amazingly politically stupid.

Oh I guess in that case they just shouldn't bother vetoing? Yeah no fuck that.
