I did no know that Will was advising Sarah. That for all readers of THE ROAD is bad news! Will is referred to on almost every page in the middle of the book by th C word. If you have not followed Will he backed every "Nanny State" law proposed by GWB but the last TARP; which he was flip floppy on. The C word was not communist but collectivist. Will does not support the Bill of Rights.He does not believe in personal initiative and responsibility, Ergo he is bad for Sarah. Rod Cerritos, Cal Smitty
Great!

You know when we invest using preferred securities, we don't need the federal reserve to tell us what sort of return we're going to require for taking on a risk. We offer a term sheet to the company who needs capital, and they say "YEA" or "NAY" --- whoa be the banks having to do the same when they underwrite debt, or even when we purchase debt. Determine your own damn cost of credit instead of using some stupid benchmark set by a bunch of wonktards.

The second idea regarding committee assignments is especially brilliant and imminently doable in the short term. The income tax has been abused and misused for far too long. The 30,000 (probably more) pages of tax code are a millstone around the neck of our economy. I love these ideas.
