What It Takes




What does it take to get a law passed these days? Consider this*, from the Senate version of the bailout bill that passed last night:

SEC. 503. EXEMPTION FROM EXCISE TAX FOR CERTAIN WOODEN ARROWS DESIGNED FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

I wonder whose support depended on that being in the bill.
