Gov't stalls negotiations with impunity no matter how early they begin. Money appears and disappears with alarming regularity. Idiot managers and department heads with the benefit law degrees, MBA's, on the job training and sumptuous in service seminars and conferences pull the same misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance stunts that bleed money all the time. <br /><br />These are scandals that, in my opinion, can be remedied by turning the FBI loose on them. An opinion I respect said, "The FBI can turn a twenty foot rental truck filled with register tapes into a Federal case that sends twelve people to Leavenworth for long stretches." <br /><br />There is the occasional Duke Cunningham or streak of Chicago Alderman, but the public trust has been badly betrayed. Let the laws on the books be enforced without the usual hoopla of calling for yet another layer of watchdogs, enforcers, bureaucrats, office support staff, media representatives, lobbyists, and appointed cabinet level dedicated followers of fashion.
