===================================

Several years ago when the greedy republicans dismantled all the
banking regulations and let the idiots invent schemes like "credit
default swaps", Senator Byron Dorgan D-ND said we would really
regret letting them do that because it would be big trouble later.

Senator Kent Conrad D-ND also has a stellar record on economic issues
especially relating to reducing the federal deficit. These are good
guys and have beaucoup seniority in the Senate. They both turned down
appointments in the Obama Administration because they can accomplish
more in Congress than at the White House. I never have to contact
these guys, I just thank them when I run into them in the grocery
store or on the street.

Besides which I'm too poor to notice any damned recession depression
or whatever.
