1. So When Does Phil Gramm Frog March

I'm watching...not one word yet about Gramm's connections and how he rewrote the banking laws that opened the gates to all this speculation and fraud.

Ya know those who have their money sheltered will do all they can to avoid having their names exposed. The bitch here is that since the money is sheltered, a good chance they have more money and will than our government in keeping their dirty secrets secret.

The US could simply disenfranchise UBS...prevent them from doing any business in this country unless they provide full disclosure...but that ain't gonna happen.

2. Good caller just nailed him. Of course the guest wusses out - "no one person to blame".

4. Even Worse...Play The "Fair And Balanced Game"

Sites an Obama economic advisor as working for UBS...so that somehow absolves Gramm. No mention about his rewriting the banking laws that UBS benefitted from.

Typical beltway bullshit...another lazy stenographer.

3. 200 million dollars of taxable income being evaded. That would fund one the bailouts!!!
