Shortly after I saw another report that listed, by name, 7 republicans and 1 democrat, so there was something wrong. Just another example of how the journalists just can't seem to ever get the details right, no matter the affiliation. It's something that's just systemically wrong with professional journalism. If we could be sure that the facts were always right, the biases might actually be tolerable. (Being part of cover-ups, like the Tiger Woods fiasco, doesn't help, either.) No slights intended to any professional journalists here.. Yeah. Shortly after I saw another report that listed, by name, 7 republicans and 1 democrat, so there was something wrong.

Banking is a fairly important committee, any that importance means more members? Wish I knew about committees and their sizes, but that was Kudlow’s numbers.

I know the GOP is only 40% of the Senate, but those numbers sound wrong. A vote of 10-7 makes more sense.
