But the law even if called does nada. The Federal Government is
failing in one of their primary duties. That is protecting the
nation.


I think one of the biggest problems this country has is our political
leaders' tendency to "fix" a problem by simply passing a law. It's
lunacy. Makes the political blow-hards sound like they are on top of
the issues, but the endless barrage of new laws they author and pass
are worthless if they are unenforceable or the will to enforce them is
lacking.

As I said, we have plenty of law on the subject. It's enforcement, and
that has to be funded for it to be effective. This was true during lead
up to the Madoff situation also.

Funding is not the problem. "Will" is the lacking item.



You're wrong. The enforcement effort has been hamstrung by lack of funds.
Look it up.

We are overspending. Funding was not a problem. Will to fix the problem
is the problem.


Uh huh... so, when it actually takes money to fix a problem, we're
overspending, but when we go to war without a valid reason and spend
trillions, that's ok.
