Rangel "Temporarily" Steps Down

A Democrat with a fun history of defaulting on huge personal debts was the chair of the House Ways & Means Committee. He wrote tax laws for the nation. Come to find out, he is also a pretty big tax cheat. So Charlie Rangel avoided being forced out of the committee chair by temporarily resigning. "Temporarily," in the same way that Social Security contributions are "voluntary."

Now we have a new committee chair. If you like Vice President Biden's habit of sticking both feet in his mouth whenever he speaks, you'll just love Pete Stark as the new HNIC writing tax laws.
