Just to show I will publicly praise Prezbo when he does something right, props to him on this one.

Yes....It's a good thing to put laws on the books which allows the Fed Gov to fix issues caused by the same Fed Gov. Hopefully they will fix their accounting offices too and not take the persons political affiliation into consideration when "going after these people"

Aud ... I agree with you, it does sound silly to have laws that have to be enforced by the same entity they are being enforced against, but unfortunately thats the system we have been given to work with, the Feds are the only ones that can fix themselves. Its our job to elect the proper people to fix the crap the people in last left behind.

More politicians need to be in jail. Same with lawyers. They are all greedy bastards who care more about building a foundation that supports themselves more than a nation for the "common man".

This is what happens when programs get too complicated and the government too large.

So does anyone, humans are self-interested. It's just that certain professions allow said self-interest to extract a greater public toll than others.

You can't expect politicians, lawyers, oil company executives, or anyone else to be more altruistic than average simply because they are in a position to cause more havoc than, say, a pizza delivery guy.

A law to make the law follow the law? Yes... brilliant work Obama! I wonder how many dollars it took to get this law made & how many more will be appointed to "enforce" it? They might spend more enforcing this than they "accidentally" waste now. Hopefully Obama can get back to his parties & drinking now.
