Fixing Facebook?      

   U.S. House and Senate committees grilled Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, as we
discussed a few days ago. Do you find it curious that 
Congress always sits higher than the people they grill?

   They frowned and pondered, looking down at the billionaire in their corral. Surely, overdue regulations are coming for the designated evil person of the week, whose net worth increased by $3 billion while he sat taking their shots.

   We don't know if Mark is sinner or saint. But you can bet Congress will straighten out Facebook. Their track record speaks for itself.

   They regulate the IRS, which spends three times as much collecting wayward taxes as the revenue they recover. And they can't quite prevent scammers from stealing Social Security numbers and filing bogus returns.

   They regulate the Office of Personnel Management, from which cyber attackers stole personnel data from millions of employees and contractors. Yours truly is one of the potential "victims" receiving such notice from the government in 2015, as I was investigated for security clearance twice in the 1990's. 

   They regulate the Dept. of Defense, which can't account for billions in expenditures.

   They authorize spending that now accounts for $20 trillion in debt.

   They hold sway over the Justice Department/FBI, which so fears Congress that...

   Wait a minute. Our theory is unraveling here.

   Never mind.
