Bill Kristol–confused
While listening to Diane Rehm (something I try to avoid) Bill Kristol just indicated that Jim Leach was the chair of an important committee. Unfortunately, this is not true. Jim Leach was the head of what is now the Financial Services Committee. The United States is the better for that tenure since he stopped both Phil Gramm and Bill Clinton from jumping off the edge of a cliff over Banking deregulation. Leach forced the continued separation of banking and commerce to avoid the problems Germany and Japan face with relationships between the two sectors being too close.
Who is now the head of Financial Services? Michael Oxley. Term Limits Suck.
