Sen. Ted Kaufman may be the most self-aggrandizing member of Congress. His office sends out press releases ever few days about his stances on the financial services industry and other items he thinks the media will find interesting. It is unlikely that his points are picked up anywhere except his home town paper in Delaware.

Today he distributed his remarks on the IPO markets. Among them was his view of the economy.

“After suffering through the most severe recession in decades, we are now in the midst of the most fragile of recoveries.” Nice insight, but several months old.
