Good, honest response Kahuna. However, your statement about her ranting against the opposition is not quite entirely accurate. Her statement clearly says that she sided with Senator Bill Nelson a democrat in voting against the bill. Further, by virtue of that vote, whether you agree or disagree, it would seem to dispute your question that she might be in the tank for her contributors. Incidentally, some great economists and the majority of the public agree with her position.

Now that we have traded missiles, I have a serious question for you in the hopes that your expertise will help me conclude that the bailout was really the best course of action. I understand the basics but I am sincerely interested in your professional analysis, pro bono of course, on Brown-Waite's explanation of her vote on the first rescue bill. In particular, what do think of the source Brown-Waite described as "the finest economic minds in the country." This is not a gotcha question. I am sure others, especially those that do not have professional financial or economic backgrounds would appreciate your input and the viewpoint of anyone else who would like to weigh in. Personally, I am not convinced the rescue/bailout was in the country's interest on a long term basis but, I have kept an open mind. As always, thank you for stimulating the grey matter.

BTW For the record, if you were running to represent our district, I would cast my vote for you even though we do not always share the same perspective.
