How a senator steals money from the poor

Democrat John Ford stole $800,000 from Medicare:
Toronto Daily News - Former U.S. Senator Charged of Stealing 800K from Medicare - Former U.S. Senator John Ford has been indicted on new corruption charges. ***
Dishonesty is bi-partisan

Which just goes to prove a point, that when government gets involved, the program fails to work. Corruption, misuse of monies, overspending, and the list goes on. Have you ever noticed how the government will award a contract to someone to perform some service, or build something, and then the next thing you know, lo and behold, the business underestimated the cost and the government immediately pays more.

The private sector does not work that way. If you and I had a contract in which you were going to build something or perform some service, and suddenly you found that it costs more than you bid, you are liable to complete the services as the terms of the contract specify. If you don't I can take you to court and have you ordered to complete the project or return my money. Hmmmm now there is an idea, make government work like the real world. Naw it will never happen.

Isn't it supposed to be the Republicans who fostered the famous "Culture of Corruption"?

Where are all our local liberals now?
Where's all the screaming and yelling now?
Where are the DNC apologists now?


It just proves a point: When there's no whining and crying about the Republicans to do, all the liberals disappear.
