This trend would get even worse under a republican administration. Well, at least one that stays true to its cut spending mantra.
I guess the Republicans can bring this one up in the debates. Or not..... Or maybe insider trading on Capitol Hill. Or not..... The democrat-politician vs republican-politician argument: "MY scum is better than YOUR scum!!"
I presume that folks think that the POTUS has the power to clean shit up. JFK thought that too. And I will leave it there.
