Ah, so you just don't care that the guy who's advising McCain on economic matters helped cause the current housing crisis.

After Gramm passed a law easing regulation of energy-commodity trading, California experienced a sharp run-up in energy costs. The energy-trading company Enron was blamed and soon collapsed.

The final UBS form listing Gramm’s work as a lobbyist says he was lobbying the Senate in the second half of 2007 regarding the Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act. The bill would have let bankruptcy judges rewrite mortgage terms for Americans facing foreclosure so they could repay their loans and keep their homes.

The banking industry opposed this measure. The bill failed.

And this is the guy McCain is thinking of making his Treasury Secretary.

Gotcha.

If I were you, I'd try to ignore this as well.
