So I'm looking at the Welfare Reform Bill...
And I see the proviso below - and get to thinking about how this administration does business. I propose we submit a Corporate Welfare Reform Bill with the same provision. And make these private-jet welfare-queens pay their own way in this world. I mean, come on, they need to get off the taxpayer's tit, pull themselves us by their bootstraps, and stand on their own two feet. Right?! You really can't expect CEOs and CFOs to monitor themselves, really - how do you think they got where they are in the first place - cheating and lying and ripping people off. They are inherently untrustworthy and will use their country-club contacts to cheat the government if they get a chance. We really need to do something about this if we are going to stand a chance of having a sound economy.

`(6) CERTIFICATION OF STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES TO ENSURE AGAINST PROGRAM FRAUD AND ABUSE- A certification by the chief executive officer of the State that the State has established and is enforcing standards and procedures to ensure against program fraud and abuse, including standards and procedures concerning nepotism, conflicts of interest among individuals responsible for the administration and supervision of the State program, kickbacks, and the use of political patronage.
