Glass-Steagal, that is the name of the bill that was repealed by Clinton in 1999, just before he left office. Don’t forget, Fairness in Lending. Some blame gets put on the Republicans as well from 2004-2006 when they held the majority of the House. The President and that House shares some blame for doing nothing at that time. The 2006-2008 corrupt House of Dems made it worse of course.

Clinton only signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Republicans Gramm and Leach were the ones who pushed for it. Without sponsorship by the Republicans in the House and Senate, repeal was not possible. The Republicans are more to blame than the Rapist was.
