>>With virtually all of its activities subject to government regulation, Enron understood better than its competitors the value of political influence. To manipulate politicians in Houston, Austin, Washington, and foreign capitals, Enron made huge political contributions (including $2.5 million in federal contributions since 1999) and ushered a steady stream of government officials through its revolving door. Sure did. They bought policy from the Clinton regime. Imagine what that exemption was worth. Dems apparently believe in deregulation only when they get cash in return. And then they deregulate on a case by case basis. Like with Enron.
