Soap Box Ravings really likes this new concept put forth by Senator Dodd. I have to tell you Soap Box ravings really, really, really loves this new concept of Senator Dodds. basically it is, If you had a leadership position during the downfall, you should resign from your position before any assistance is offered.
Soap Box Ravings can only ask, "Does this also apply to the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Congress after all runs the country. The President can only agree and sign bills presented or he/she may veto the bills presented. If the President vetoes a bill Congress can either override the veto or live with it and move on.
So the Question is, Should Senator Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee and his associates both in the senate and in the House resign their exalted positions for their participation in the economic debacle our country finds itself in?
If auto executives are to be held responsible for playing by the rules dealt them by our Government, the United Auto Workers Union, the banking industry, etc. why do we not hold Senators and Representatives accountable for results that happened on their watch; especially when they wrote many of the rules everyone else had to play by.
