Well yes, they just LOVE to hold hearings as it gives them some great soundbites to push out to show their base that they are 'doing something' but until people get fired, and/or go to jail, it's all just a bunch of noise. All I want for Christmas is a buzz saw to the budgets of all the 3 letter swamp creature agencies, as these are the guys and gals who REALLY have all the power in DC.

Agreed. My brother works in the EPA and has hinted at moving his activism towards non-profit sector. A little "nudge" due to government cuts might be "beneficial" for him. :)

Ho ho ho merry Christmas. Lol. Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately the ones who hold the power are never seen on the news.

Depends on witch (sic) news you read. Sometimes you have to go to the theatre.

Sad and infuriating truth. We learned from Clinton (in my adult history) nothing goes anywhere from our mouse maze of DC. The criminals du jour just move on and get richer. Ah for the courage of politicians, journalists etc who stuck Senator McCarthy to the wall. But perhaps that was a rare occurrence also. I was just a kid.

McCarthy was right. That’s why he was so viciously attacked.

Yes, the Venona papers proved McCarthy was correct. But he is still being scape-goated, even from the right wing.

McCarthy forgot the bankers and the Nazis. Nazis and bankers came out of Germany like the Marxists/communists.

And the sound bites make for great fundraising, it would seem.
