IRS Scandal Closes In on D.C.

......They were basically throwing us under the bus." The  words of an IRS agent in Cincinnati, Oh, where the White House has insisted the IRS scandal involving tax exempt status of conservative groups began with a couple of rogue agents. Once again, as has happened several times with this administration, not coming clean has come back to bite them. Read More: Agent: Washington Gave The Order

It's becoming more and more apparent that a special prosecutor needs to be named to investigate the IRS. The Department of Justice, involved in their own scandal (s) is dysfunctional at best to look into the matter. Congress will, and is, holding Congressional hearings. The problem here is their are too many committees holding hearings. They all won't come to the same conclusion. Nothing will get resolved.

Unfortunately for the country, Barack Obama is presiding over an out of control government. The national debt 

continues to barrel down a road toward $17 trillion and bankruptcy, the unemployment rate is still above 7% with 25 million people still out of work, a record number of people are on food stamps and the number of people at the poverty level is staggering. Not that the president was getting anything done to solve these problems anyway, but the current scandals in Washington are of his own making and while they take the above mentioned problems off the front page, they won't go away. As long as this president is in office, they will only get worse. They would have gotten worse with or without the scandals because Mr. Obama's failed, reckless policies are not going to change.
