You have to have the investigations to look “tough on crime”. I wouldn’t be surprised [ I got it right this time John! : )] if they make a ruckus, arrest some Martha Stewart type and that’s the end of it. It’s hard to believe that anyone of any significance would ever be charged.

I had thought the same thing. Then I realized that given the length of the legislation, they’d been working on it for awhile- it just got shoved through in a weekend. I suspect that might be the basis for the corruption charges.

You’re giving billions to groups of people who have been stealing money for years (huge bonuses for bankrupting a company = stealing in my book), it’s not rocket science.

Government has known for more than 30 years that Social Security and Medicare would fail mathematically in 2041 and 2017 respectfully.

In that 30 years they have failed to find a solution. It it not surprising then, that decisions and documents arrived at and written over a week-end would. . .let’s say…lack clarity.
