Grassley is generally ok, but he does go looney tunes once in a while.

Years ago he was on a radio talk show in Iowa and I got to ask him a question.

They were talking about the national debt and the general irresponsibility of congress.

I asked him to acknowledge that the government was required to put excesses from social security into the general fund. He did acknowledge it! I was surprised.

He said "Thats right and the excesses are just spent by congress".

Then he said "We have to do something about that". And that was the end of my call.

But this latest call to get into the oil company profits is misguided. Prices are falling because there has been a consumer based backlash to the high prices. We have driven less, car pooled and become more economical with our use of gas as a result of being gored.

I agree. I had a phone conversation with him also that left me refreshed in his understanding. Was in regard to the farm program and him admitting what we were doing now wasn't working.

We all say stupid things every once in awhile but never here on FR.
