Thanks, Chris:I think that it is hard to overstate how annoying it is to have Chris Dodd as one Senator from my state and Joe Lieberman as the other.Not only will watering down the bill in the name of bipartisanship not give us the needed regulatory restructuring that we need, but it is also politically stupid in another way. Let the Republicans come out opposed to regulating the market and the bankers and then beat them to death with it in the fall. Passing a shitty bill with their support blurs the distinctions between the parties.
But then again, given that some of the Democrats are almost as beholden to corporate interests as the Republicans, there really isn’t much to blur, is there? There really isn’t anything quite as worthless as the US Senate, is there?
Some folks seem to think I occasionally have interesting things to say. I don't always agree.
