Vote yourself a tax increase and take your refund out of it.

If you had every official fiscally responsible for errors, no one would wokk in government. Maybe not a bad idea afterall. LOL!

Some of these cases are best effort with what is known at the time. We are the government and we are responsible.

Ar some point, we really have to DEMAND fiscal responsibility on an INDIVIDUAL basis. Yes, that sounds absurd under Obama ... but we can't keep throwing money around like drunken sailors.

Yes, these people were wronged. To discourage that, giving them a “bail out” won't stop those that take this route. By making those personally responsible for the wrong they did, WILL discourage them from railroading others. How else will people be forced to be accountable if we shove the bill to Innocent tax payers? Where's the incentive to stop this?
