I may be naive or maybe for decades I had my head in the sand when it came to politics. However this thread has opened my eyes to the corruption in government that is beyond belief. Anyway reading this post of yours has to be upset by the nepotism and greed that is part of this administration's entire modus operendi. I am still boiling over the billion or was it a million that was lost in Iraq... CASH that no one seems to know what happened to it. Our Pentagon is too big. There are too many players in all of our government. The right hand does not know what the left is doing. There is no over seer save Congress and investigations but by then it is too late. If anyone did a run down on all of the corruption that has gone on since 2000 I wonder whether it would not exceed any other administration's record. Waste,over spending and excesses are just not a part of my make up as a Depression child. My sister bought some cards (remember when a nostalgic look back in time ) at a local store here with salient fact on the the cost of things when that person was born. I was amazed. In the late sixties and early seventies a decent home cost five thousand dollars. The average salary was between three thousand and six thousand. Then I remembered I made three thousand the years I graduated from college... and it was a better salary than the friends who went into teaching. I was in social work at the time. Talk about INFLATION.. This low salary afforded a good living. Bill Moyer's weekly program had to do with what is happening in America with the widening of the gap between rich and poor. We once had the MOGULS who numbered a very few but now salaries of CEO'S exceed millions... AND the minimum wage is just over six dollars an hour. How can a Democracy survive when there is such inequity between the rich and poor. The example was of a man working three jobs while the RICH partied and no one gave a damn. Really an interesting 1 hour presentation but very very very disturbing..if you care about our country.
