Wow, things moved quickly today. My only response, Senator, is demonstrate to me any of the preceding assertions that I made that are factually inaccurate. As I often say, I am willing to accept assertions that are based upon facts, but so far you have not offered any facts to refute my previous assertions. I am always willing to engage in debate when it is based upon something that is verifiable. Remember Reagan's nostrum, "Trust, but verify"?

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
