I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you overlooked my response to Robert two lines down instead of being simply dense.

The issue is not that government corruption makes corporate corruption "right," or that the corporate corruption should not be prosecuted. The issue is that until the government cleans up its own act maybe the politicians shouldn't be making political hay strutting around and pointing fingers at the private sector.

The accounting problems of the United States Government are legion. Let's see how many government people end up being prosecuted for them, or even fired.
