Where is the wording that specifies the penalty for exceeding at 15:1 ratio? Don't get too excited.

Just called and told them to give her a pat on the back for at least trying to fix the core root of the problem. Asked for my zip code.

Done, called her office. As a constituent. Which I am. Guess I'll also go visit her district office.

Ok guys, I am getting sick of the 100% pessimism on some of these posts. 'This won't matter, that won't matter' bla bla bla

There is no MAGIC WAND to fix all this ****. We can only take steps. This is a step in the right direction.

I called and told her office that it was a start, but unless the amendment specified mark-to-market, then there was no way to calculate the real leverage.

Unless mark-to-market and leverage limits go hand-in-hand, it's all a lie.

I called her office and the offices of the other Democrats that co-sponsored HR 1207, to thank them for their support and to ask them to reject Mel Watts ammendment. It was interesting that some of the aides asked where I was calling from and others didn't. I wondered if comments from citizens outside their voting district are ignored, but of course realized they probably ignore their local consituents most of the time as well. Though I do think we are getting through to many of the House members, save a certain dishonorable Rep from Charlotte.

Um, I saw Degaston's avatar and forgot what I was going to write. Damn. Oh yeah, I'd hit it! (Jackie Speier)

I'm so depressed about outsourcing I called the suicide hotline and got a call center in Pakistan. They got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck.

Everything I write is my opinion and not to be considered proven fact. Nothing I write should be considered financial advice.

Yeah Boz I understand. Thanks to the government bailouts and stimulus programs I'm now well-endowed and much-improved ;)
