This problem might well have started during the Clinton administration. It doesn't make it Clinton's problem. The question is when did the bad accounting practices and other problems start?

And what exactly are the actions that members of the Bush administration are responsible for? Has it been shown anyone from the government, Republican or Democrat, has had a hand in this?

Both parties accepted campaign funds from Enron. Instead of playing the usual political blame game, the more important issue is to make certain the corruption demonstrated by Enron executives cannot be repeated again. They screwed the employees big time.

I've never thought putting one's 401-K money in the stock of one's employer was a good idea. Was that the only option those people had? And how did they end up with so much in their accounts, unless it was paper profits on Enron stock? So did they really "lose" much, or just fail to gain as they had expected?

JMHO.
