Rangel has a huge hand in tax policy and cheats on his taxes while enjoying Citibank junkets after they have bailout funds injected.
Dodd has still not released his loan documents on the sweetheart deal he recieved from the industry he was supposed to be regulating.
Both Rangel and Dodd are pointing to everyone under the sun besides themselves as creators of the debacle.
The man in charge of the IRS is a tax cheat – even if you buy the story of his lapse on IMF funds, the summer camp items are simply fraud. The man who wants to take over 1/6 of the USA economy (Health Care) is another tax cheat. One of these has already been confirmed by the US Senate and the other shortly will be.
The husband of the just confirmed Sec State recieves millions from foreign govt., and nary a comment in the confirmation process, re. potential conflicts of interest. nade more remarkable given the couple’s track record of questionable dealings.
Congress is working vigorously with administrantion support on a trillion dollars in pork.
Naivete on an almost criminal level on outreach to terrorist sponsoring despotic governments. Designing a network of Special representatives and ambassadors whose structure is guaranteed to be at best, dysfunctional.
Change we can believe in? If our August political “leaders” were attempting to execute a plan to destroy the country and destroy any basis for rational support, I would judge their effort so far to be brilliant.
