Someone sent this to me:

From the site:
Ah, the Internet. What a wonderful way to keep up with the past. As with the article published in The New York Times on Friday, November 5, 1999. It kicked off with this headline:

CONGRESS PASSES WIDE-RANGING BILL EASING BANK LAWS

'Today Congress voted to update the rules that have governed financial services since the Great Depression and replace them with a system for the 21st century,'' Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers said. ''This historic legislation will better enable American companies to compete in the new economy.''

----------

Sigh. So few dissenters, and they were right. Interesting to look back. Larry Summers is still mucking with our economy and Chuck Schumer was on the wrong side, as usual.
