Why in the world is an act which is supposed to be curbing the excesses on Wall Street trying to
curb the violence and exploitation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries by exposing companies that use minerals derived from this region through disclosure and public pressure
How will controlling "conflict minerals" in the Congo help control the excesses on Wall Street?
Why is congress placing an additional reporting requirement on the productive segment of society by placing this ridiculous regulation in a bill meant to control the non productive segment of society?
How did this ever get into the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and who is responsible?
No wonder some Republicans and business leaders are so up in arms. They deserve to be.
If this wasn't so true, it would be laughable.
