As for serious teeth on entitlement program investigations, I'm all for it.
But how about some teeth for:
The SEC - now famous for convicting nobody and fining thieves less than they stole
Energy regulators - BP seems to be doing just fine after their spill and nobody is quite sure why gas is now 4+ dollars per gallon
Credit And Banking Regulators - they already gutted the previously watered down Elizabeth Warren reforms and Glass Steagal remains a glass pipe dream
More teeth requires more funding and bigger government. The Ryan budget doesn't allow for any of that... Coincidence?
Think it will happen while Exxon, BP, Goldman Sachs, Visa and the rest can hand out billions of dollars with no paper trail?
Me neither.
