are "owned" by Wall Street. I see them and other Dems as simply willing to accept that Wall Street's place in America is powerful enough that working with them at the table is more productive than trying to keep them away from the table, knowing they'll come back and take all of it for vengeance. I don't condone the bankruptcy bill, or a few of the other things; tho the outlook is understandable.
