		<strong> BUZZ</strong>:  
		Does anyone else see the connection between the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (A/K/A Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act - as in PHIL GRAMM, McCain&#8217;s senior economic adviser) and the current Financial Apocalypse? The man took millions in campaign contributions from the Financial Services sector, deregulated the industry to the point where a company like AIG could become what it is today (whatever that is besides 79% government-owned) and now he wants to give that industry $700B?!? Whathafuck!
