U.S. Rep. John Campbell readily admits something not often heard from politicians in this economic crisis. When it comes to rewriting the rules of the financial system, the California lawmaker says he’s not sure where he stands.
“I’m not sure even in my own mind,” he says. “If I were king, I’m not sure what I would do at this point. And I don’t think I’m alone. This stuff is not easy.”
$1.7 trillion smackeroos in the hole with another $10 trillion planned, and these are the guys telling others how to run their financial houses. Somehow, that just doesn’t fill me with confidence.
