Government waste is nothing new folks. It has existed with every form of government from the beginning and it mattered little if it was monarchy, dictatorship, republic, or democracy. ( although pure democracies have proven the most vulnerable and dictators seem to thin it down quicker with the use of force )

Mr. Lincoln once stated that with one out of three dollars for the war effort going to corruption the North could loose the war. Your throwing darts at a target that has always existed and always will as long as the human population has nations and government. It simply a question of degree.
