Senators load financial overhaul with irrelevancies
"Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., wants the government to finish building the 700-mile fence between the U.S. and Mexico.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wants to end the health insurance industry's antitrust protection.
West Virginia's two senators want help with mine and oil rig safety.
They all want to add these things to the financial regulatory overhaul bill that's moving through the Senate, even though their ideas have little or nothing to do with oversight of financial markets."
