Not at all. It is a fact that Congress controls the purse strings of our nation. They get the responsibility for the financial failures of the last 2years. This started with the Franks and Clinton and it continues. Controls that were attempted by the Repubs were shot down. Nope. You guys get this one.

So there's not even one that comes to mind? It's just a feeling you have that it must have happened?

Google was helpful in pointing out one control on executive pay that was actually in the bill, but was practically eliminated by a Bush-administration-requested loophole. It doesn't say who actually added it to the bill, but either way it certainly doesn't fit your narrative. Is there something that does?

Nope, nothing about "Controls that were attempted by the Repubs were shot down."

Do you have anything?
