It offends me as well. As we conclude this half hour, I just want to say to our colleagues that this commission report must not gather dust. This commission report has got to be read by everyone, particularly our colleagues on the other side, and that we have got to take it to heart. One of the points they make in this report was that $2.7 billion was spent by the financial services industry over 10 years to lobby all of us, and another $1 billion was given out in contributions to Members of Congress. {time} 1930 So, it's no surprise that the enforcement hasn't been as strong as it should be. Thank you for sharing this half hour with me, and let's hope that we can continue to shed light on this issue. ____________________
