Have you noticed. . .

that the Republican idea of "reform" is to crack down on "fraud" and "abuse" that may or may not exist (and when it does exist, it's never to the degree that they claim), but only if perpetrated by those who are not part of a corporate hierarchy?

If the fraud and abuse are perpetrated by corporations, their solution seems to be to rewrite the law to accommodate it. Sadly, that's the sort of thing that seems to garner bipartisan support.
