It is amazing to think that this is happening in the US Congress. How on earth can this country be at a point where CEOs are being grilled by government officials for LEGAL profit driven business practices?

Maxine Waters
This is simply amazing on so many levels. This woman shows a complete lack of understanding of even the most basic rules of finance. The way she is talking, you might think that there is something vile and evil in business engaging in business…
Interesting observation from the The Atlantic
I sat here in front of my television and laughed at Maxine Waters, because her apparently random ramblings are a true spectacle. One laughs because one can’t cry. But this woman is sitting on the House Financial Services Committee. She is supposed to help craft the bills that govern our financial system. And she clearly doesn’t have the first shred of an inkling of a clue of how said financial system works. Her questions had the air of someone who couldn’t quite wrap her mind around the complexities of the E-Z Reader consumer activist pamphlets from which she had presumably cribbed them.
