Rather encouraging, too, when you see how many DNVs previously voted FOR … (even Ron Paul, the sponsor of this bill\’s predeccessor, didn\’t weigh in this time) … and realize that while some NAY\’s were persuaded to change their vote, no decisions were reversed the other way. Nice job by Barney Frank, the PPA, and others working on poker\’s sound fiscal policy\’s behalf, especially with something that relieves at least a little bit of undue pressure on the beleaguered American banking system.
