He is very impressive.

I didn’t know that much about him until the last couple of weeks, but he sure is rising to the conservative clarion call to stop this marxist madness!

The Senate Republicans need to ask for a ‘clean’ bill from the House, or all of Pelosi’s Pork is going right back in when it goes to committee

Wow, Treasury gets to go through old bonuses to determine if they were “against the public interest”? I wonder where THAT rule is in the Constitution!

Amendments to remove goals to meet any kind of sales management requirements. So a salesperson no longer has a goal to strive for and therefore no bonuses to be paid.

I know Dodd supposedly, finally, released his loan papers to some journalists. Does anyone know if they’ve been made available for all of us to see?

Some reporters were allowed to go through some docs. But no journos were allowed to leave with any copies, and I'm not sure notes were permitted to be taken.

Gee, wonder why not?
