This evening I’ll be at the Cape Coral Civic Association Candidate Forum  from 6:30 -9:00 PM.

One of the issues that will no doubt come up is stock ownership, and exactly who is getting the most out of the market, so I prepared a handout. You can check it out here: Who’s Getting Paid?

The Naples Daily News ran a great article today that asks another important question: Where’s Connie?

I cam across an intersting press release from Sen. Phil Grahm from 1999 when a key piece of legislation that contributed greatly to the current crisis was passed.  I’ll  write about this more later, but for now it’s worth pondering the lack of foresight demonstrated by this quote:

“We are here today to repeal Glass-Steagall because we have learned that government is not the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom.

“I am proud to be here because this is an important bill; it is a deregulatory bill. I believe that that is the wave of the future, and I am awfully proud to have been a part of making it a reality.”
