Dave, for IP, if you wish...

Found via slashdot, so it's not like a secret or anything...

Democrats in 2007 controlled both chambers of Congress for the first
time in a dozen years--and with the power shift came a scattershot year
for technology policy.

Sweeping initiatives like elevating minimum wage and lowering
prescription drug prices, not technology topics, took the forefront.
What that meant was a year of largely unfinished business--or, less
charitably, unfulfilled promises--for high-tech companies.
