In "Hatch’s seniority" (Forum, Jan. 11), Stan Rosenzweig argued that we should re-elect Sen. Orrin Hatch because "After the 2012 election, Sen. Orrin Hatch will be one of the most powerful senators in Washington and will control budget and finance under Senate rules."
Another take might be that Hatch has been in the upper echelon of the Senate’s Committee on Finance for a considerable time, and thus he has been a significant part of creating our national fiscal disaster (which has been developing for years).

Clearly, our nation’s finances are out of control, so Hatch’s ongoing input and influence on that committee would seem to favor his removal, something simply accomplished by not re-electing him.
