Not For Lack Of Money

Exhibit 'A', collapsed dangerous infrastructure, not for lack of money.


Exhibit 'B', 282 million dollars U.S. , recently stolen from an Iraqi bank. The guards were able to load the ton of cash and drive away through many security checkpoints, unsearched along the way, making a suspiciously easy escape. The bank wasn't even suppose to have that much cash in it!

It seems like only in Iraq can a quarter billion dollars of taxpayers money disappear without causing any outrage, or millions in unmetered unaccounted for oil every month year in year out, or millions of missing weapons... of course, the U.S. can spend that much money on a bridge to nowhere in Alaska for political largess while the infrastructure hangs by an exhausted thread in the everyday real citizen world.

These misplaced priorities will continue because of political greed and arrogance until the next election, meanwhile the public and their very safety hang precariously by the fate of very bad government...the worst government seen in any one's lifetime.
