Jim Bunning: “I assure the Senator from New Mexico that I was not lobbied by coal companies. But I sure was lobbied by the small…”

But the SEC for 13 years has sat on their hands. So if you do not get the Justice Department involved in this, shame on you as the Inspector General.

It seems impossible and outrageous that it took 8 years from the time that possible fraud was identified before the SEC spent any energy on enforcing the law.

I think the SEC better be capable of better things.

Have we ever been successful in raising taxes to help our economy in a recession?
