Hypocrosy runs rampant

Recent events proves that hypocrisy runs rampant in Washington, DC, a fact that should come as no suprise to anyone who is remotely aware of the news. Yesterday, some of the bigwigs from the banking community sat before Congress and allowed themselves to be ridiculed before the running cameras of C-Span and other news outlets. Now, I'm not defending the financial institutions and their recent actions. To first ask Congress for huge amounts of taxpayer money to bail their companies out of a mess they helped create, then fund company jaunts to Vegas or whereever, is unconscionable. To purchase multimillion dollar aircraft or to dole out massive bonuses to employees that aided their clients in losing billions of dollars from their retirement funds should be prosecutable. But to have these facts thrown in their faces by Congress is laughable. There is undoubtably not one member of that government building who has never boarded a government owned and operated aircraft to jet away on a junket to some expensive resort to study something that in no way needs studying. Events of this nature have been going on for many years and at great expense of our tax money. There's nothing new about them. It doesn't mean that we, the People, have to like it or stand for it. If Congressmen, who in some cases haven't even paid all their taxes, want to stand in front of Americans and hurl accusations, shouldn't it be a requirement that they, themselves, are not guilty of the same things. If, indeed, the last election was about change, shouldn't it start at the higher offices of government?
