Congress's Role Stock Market Slumps

[mysticgeek]

Ok, with all that is going on I have a question.

Is it the duty of congress to intervene or do anything at all when the stock market slumps?

Now I understand policies ... procedures ... laws ... and the entire political climate affect the markets. However, is it truly a congressional obligation to meddle so much in the first place?

I suppose the crux of my question is answered in our ignored constitution ... but any feedback would be great!

Thanks guys! Freedom! Liberty! Sound Money!
