Enough politburo propaganda, already. Carter signed the deregulation bill. The 1982 law, P.L. 97-320 (H.R. 6267), which passed by a nonpartisan vote of 272-91, and to which you only now refer, had 28 House cosponsors, many of whom were Democrats, INCLUDING four who remain in Congress today: Rep. Schumer (now Senator!) (D-NY); Rep. LaFalce (D-NY); Rep. Vento (D-F-L-MN); and Rep. Hoyer (D-MD).
Since you feel so strongly about this issue, why don't you go out and campaign against those four last-remaining Democrat cosponsors of the S&L crisis??
The full list of 28 cosponsors is: Reuss, Annunzio, Fauntroy, Hubbard, D'Amours, Mattox, Barnard, Schumer, McKinney, Ottinger, AuCoin, Pepper, Simon, Aspin, Minish, P. Mitchell, Blanchard, LaFalce, Oakar, Vento, Garcia, Hoyer, Moffett, A. Murphy, Howard, W.D. Ford, Heftel, and Guarini. (Source: thomas.loc.gov). |
