<<see that those CEO's who lied about the addictive properties of their lethal product end up in jail. >> If they lied under oath in public court they should get the same as the President - though we should doubt anything ever happens to the %%%%. <<and that I believe that he's about the best we can get from our system as currently constituted.>> You would prefer something far more socialist or communist - we can guess... <<As for Fannie & Freddie, if they are really spending millions of dollars to get op-ed pieces in the Washington Times, then they'll manage to go broke no matter how much help they get from Washington. But as it stands, the allegation is a little nebulous. And if you're seriously looking for influence peddling stories>> WRONG!!!! If news of a publicly traded company which is engaged in illegal activities with company funds & tax dollars comes forward - it should be broadly reported by all involved in business news. Has CNBC not reported widely about the abuses of MO & all the rest tobacco? Do not the beat most other companies which break the law? Aren't there laws against "Failure to disclose" payment from a company for promoting their stock or company?
