When will Sen. Reid start those Senate hearings into the financial crisis that precipitated this recession?

January 22nd, 2012

Question by The emperor has no clothes: When will Sen. Reid start those Senate hearings into the financial crisis that precipitated this recession?
Over a year ago, Sen. Reid promised to hold hearings into the factors responsible for the current economic recession. He even set the date, November 20, 2008. Well, here it is, one year later and still no hearings. You would have thought that given the scope, depth and devastation that this recession has caused that the senate would take the time out of the busy schedule to get to the bottom of it so that we can possibly avoid something like this in the future.

Why didn’t he hold this hearing and is he still planning on having one?

How come only millionaires usually get elected to the Senate?

January 12th, 2012

Question by guitarman: How come only millionaires usually get elected to the Senate?
How come there are no average joes in there? And how in the world can a multimillionaire even relate to the average joes he is supposed to be representing in Congress? Most of the folks in the Senate are former CEO’s, former successful attorneys, doctors, wealthy entrepeneurs, doctors, etc. And it’s not just the Senate, it’s the House of Representatives, too. There are disproportionate amount of wealthy professionals in the House too.
