Maybe it is a conflict of logic more than a conflict of interest. I don't blame the guy for taking the free money from Enron, it was on the ground and he picked it up. (Although maybe as an economist he should know there really is no free lunch-- an oft quoted joke among economists.)It is just that I am sick of him painting everyone else who worked for a company that had some problem as guilty by association. Usually the claims of association are no stronger between the person and the company than his own association with Enron. Yet this is the standard of objectivity and evidence that the NYT tolerates among its op ed columnists.

OT ... Its filing fees greatly exceed its entire budget.

You make that statement as if it were fact. Would you provide backup for that?

And doesn't Congress have a big hand in setting the SEC budget? Are you saying the SEC doesn't request a big enough budget .. or Congress excessively trims the requested budget?

Ron

P.S. Please use an OT in your reply.
