    1. Actually the lib way is to break it specifically so they can throw more money at it.

  2. Well, he certainly knows all the mistakes he made.

    Hiring somebody else would require they track them all down.

    We can't wait for that!

    We need that free health care now.

  4. Republicans had best be careful about how critical they are over this issue. I mean how they criticize this issue. Hint: This practice did not start recently, in DC it is a right of passage, so to speak. You get elected, you push benefits to your sponsors. It is all a matter of how you package the image. Never-the-less, it has gone on in every administration since Eisenhower at least, which covers my politically cognizant lifetime.

    It has gotten geometrically worse over time, thanks to some provisions in OMB Circular A-76 and definitions of what "commercial activities" are and what "inherently governmental activities" are not. These determinations often make no common sense, especially in the military arena. I've mentioned this issue before, but it bears repeating because it increases reliance upon contractors and sub-contractors and opens up the fraud, waste, abuse, and graft spigots.

    In short, if Republicans make a big belly bottom whopping dang deal of this current matter, they will open themselves up for illumination of even worse messes on their recent watches. All in all, that might actually do some good. The problem is institutionalized in the federal government and it does not change from administration to administration. It just grows. It is usually boosted by military and federal senior "retirements" where high ranks depart to lead contractor outfits, head up various academic institutions, or become lobbyists.
