aren't the (fiscally responsible) Republicans in charge of Congress?
How can Democrats be doing all of this?
Yet..."While senators and congressmen hyperventilate over accounting scandals in a handful of big corporations, the U.S. government itself squanders, wastes, loses, and misappropriates hundreds of billions without a blush." Well, damn...who's fault is this?
Sidenote: (not that I care)
Losing money in a political sinkhole is not illegal for corporate CEO or politican.
Lying about losing money is illegal for corporate CEO's (and it should be for politicians).
