Neal, here's a story about UBS bank and how they are aggressively selling off their bad debts, you know the idea of taking care of their responsibilities rather than asking the government to bail them out?

I loved the last line, "Capitalism, you say? That sounds like an intriguing concept. We should get some of that going on over here."
Are you going to still vote for Mike Simpson after he votes socialism on this bill? Because he is a Republican right? And because Republicans can do no wrong great enough to not earn your vote, right?
Please discuss this on your show. At what point are Idaho Republicans going to get fed up and not vote Republican? This year would be the year if ever.
