It is alarming to watch the degree of grandstanding, finger pointing, and pompous self-righteousness of Congressmen and Senators calling for new regulations and new taxes to solve the problem. Liberals have always found taxes and new spending to be a cure for any of society’s problems. The real problem is one of integrity and morality, which can’t be legislated, least of all by government. After all, these are the same people that have told us we were running budget surpluses even though government debt increased by $500 billion. These are also the same people that insist on telling workers there is a Social Security Trust Fund. This is also the same government that cooks its own books through creative accounting, such as seasonal adjustments, hedonic indexing and capitalizing expenditures instead of booking them as expenses as WorldCom did. The ruling class may want to ponder their own improprieties before they point at the sins of others. If you want to clean out the barn, it starts at the top. Economic News financialsense.com
