Ode to Ben Nelson
Wall Street's in your debt.
Your no to regulation,
a stroke of genius.
It probably has nothing to do with the $500,000 to $1 million in Berkshire stock that Senator Nelson owns (Source: WSJ). Nope, it couldn't be self-interested greed. It must be for the burgeoning derivatives trading industry in Nebraska. He is simply defending his state's interests.
