I haven't paid much attention to this story because it doesn't really affect public policy in a significant way but what puzzles me is why he was called to testify before congress anyway. It seems to me that he should have been called before a baseball commission if the commission was interested in it. Congress? Why? I suspect it was for show. Clemens taking steroids didn't affect me personally at all. The game of baseball was sullied to some degree by his actions but I don't think it is the job of congress to ensure that private businesses and institutions remain stain free.
Why was Jamie Dimon testifying before Congress today? [
NOT under oath.] It is
TOTALLY all for show. But what else is The War on Drugs?
