[ W and Phil Gramm] Article: "Business as Usual" Author: Paul Krugman Publication: The New York Times, October 22, 2002 SI Reference: Message 18161671 The following is an excerpt: " Almost all of those ex-C.E.O.'s in the administration became wealthy thanks to the connections they had acquired in Washington; the exception is Mr. Bush himself, who became wealthy thanks to the connections his father had acquired in Washington. This process continues. Senator PHIL GRAMM, who pushed through legislation that exempted Enron's trading practices from regulation while his WIFE sat on the company's board, is retiring and taking a new job: he's going to UBS Warburg, the company that bought Enron's trading operation. Somehow, crusaders against business abuse don't get similar offers." nytimes.com
