We're getting used to the Committee having hearings and then doing basically nothing.
ReplyDeleteDid everyone see GE has been invited the one who owns nursing homes, partners with pharmaceutical companies, owns assisted living facilities, insurance companies, and the conflict goes on.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the invited speakers more of the usual what is the basis for their input into the forum? Promis and potential? What about the dangers? No warnings here?
ReplyDeleteGE? I hadn't heard that. These hearings are just for show anyway. Or at least they have been in the past.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Kohl to retire. The next chairman just has to be better...
