You provide no support for "Without Gramm-Bliley, derivatives would not have gotten out of control." Absent that your whole argument falls apart.

Neither Glass-Steagall, nor Gramm-Leach-Bliley where about derivatives.

Also if your really want to blame the change enshrined in Gramm-Leach-Bliley, note that it was signed by Clinton, not Bush, and also Glass-Steagall had already been strongly eroded before Gramm-Leach-Bliley.

Clinton, Rubin, and Greenspan quashed regulation of derivatives. That happened before Gramm-Bliley.
