I appreciate that. Go read yesterday's New York Times. It says on the front page of the Business section, To Wall Street, Washington, D.C., ``might seem like enemy territory. But even as Federal regulators and prosecutors extract multibillion-dollar penalties from the Nation's biggest banks, Wall Street can rely on at least one ally here'' in Washington. And that ally is the House of Representatives. We ought to change our position, stand with the taxpayers, stand with the investors, stand with the people that we were elected here to represent and tell Wall Street where to go on this. They get enough breaks as it is. We ought to stand up for the American people and protect them for a change.
