I guess the way I look at it, dump it all on the US Attorney Generals' office and set a precedent by convicting those who broke the law. Send the rest of the bums home and let them get a real job like the rest of us..... Then, lets get some financial people in there running things who actually know how to run a company--if the government ran like a profitable company wouldn't life be great??? Get some folks in congress who'll just do what has to be done and not just talk the talk, but walk the walk, too.... If that means ending a couple thousand federal jobs, and trimming things back by deleting all the bs the feds are involved in, that'd just be a bonus......

I agree on the performance evaluation as a tool----but these clowns haven't performed, just give 'em a pink slip an send them home...

As an employer, if the same clowns kept making the same mistakes, would you have really wasted a lot of time evaluating their performance, or just had their stuff put in a box and escort them to the street???? We would waste years evaluating and seeing who's good and who's bad, what's left of the middle class can't afford to wait.... I still say get rid of every incumbant, forget party affiliation and/or don't vote in anyone who mentions it, and get some people in congress (for their LIMITED TERM) and get the country back to work....

Nothing wrong with the logic and at times obvious affiliation Don presented. It just doesn't work. Period... When the system is broke beyond repair, then ya got to start over. Desparate times call for desparate measures...Can't remember who said that but credit them with it.... Keep things going along the lines of the status quo and shortly there will be no US (and maybe global) economic plan to fix as there will be no US economy......
