Dems Ready Proposal on Code of Conduct

A case of the wolf guarding the hen house?
Whatever, its a nice thought anyway, that politicians think honesty is important, even if they don't really mean it. And the Democrats beat the Republicans to the punch. With all the "criminal" activity the Republicans have been caught at lately, this was a nice one two punch. But I'm all too aware that most politicians, heck most humans, have a price. So, the so called "gifts" politicians receive in return for "considerations" is under review. Big deal, nice thought, but lets see it work. Like years ago when the tax deduction was removed for personal loans, car loans, and credit card interest I thought Ok finally we'll cut down on borrowing, which to me is a downward spiral to hell. Only trouble is its also the American way. So what happened is people started refinancing their homes, because THAT WAS deductible. End result? Highest debt per person EVER. I think last count, NOT counting mortgage debt, was about $8-10,000 the "average" person was in debt for. So you see my skepticism? They'll find a way around this safeguard too. After all its the American way.
