Political Factoid

Most people hope Rep.
Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)
does not become a
modern Joe McCarthy
investigator.
 
Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)
dramatically changed the rules of the
House Financial Services Committee
to be the most egregious with
authority to the "Chairman" to
unilaterally issue and authorize
subpoenas
* for partisan, politically
motivated, investigations for the
first time in its 150-year history.

 
* Like Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-WI) did with
the Committee on Government Operations
of the Senate back in the 1950s.
