And the corruption begins

Ok its not like corruption ever stopped, its just has  a lot more to feed it now.  And larges pots of money feeds corruption.  I knew the stimulus would attract the flies like a pile of dog crap. 

I look at obama and his crew and see a typical academic arrogance with the stimulus bill and the extra spending bills.  Arrogance may be too strong of word but what I mean is they seem to think that while other governments have failed to spend the money properly they will succeed.  They are making a very good go at it with the media.  The speechs about holding people accountable for where the money gets  spent are all well and good but it won’t get spent correctly.  And I can’t think of anyone who really did a good job of spending our money. 

But what will happen is that after about a year the bulk of the spending money will begin to hit the local governments and by that time americas attention will be on the next great thing.  Perhaps the budding adult movie career of Britney Spears will captivate us at that point I don’t know.  Part of me thinks the reason for so much of the stimulus money being spent so long after it was signed may be because by then (a year from now) they will be able to do as they please with it.

I need another beer.
