@ www.ontheborderline.net they keep the minnows and throw back the throphy fish: School Change v. Federal Folding Cash


On the other side of the borderline blogoshpere, they constantly quack about any money spent on public/government education. They see nickels and dimes and scream bloody murder about they government stealing their hard earned money. At the same time, they hit the mute button when it comes to the money being wasted by the Bush administration and dumped into heaping piles in the feed buckets of corporate America. Oh, I forgot, that's free-market economics being practiced by concerned members of the corporate business dispensers of the milk of human kindness.

Here's a couple of interesting articles detailing the money grab fest being engineered out of the Bush White House.

In the Oct. 24 edition of The American Conservative, we read that the United States invaded Iraq with a high-minded mission: destroy dangerous weapons, bring democracy, and trigger a wave of reform across the Middle East. What has really happened -- Billions of dollars have disappeared, gone to bribe Iraqis and line contractors’ pockets. Read Philip Giraldi’s cover story Money for Nothing.

Also, the Sunday, Oct. 23 edition of the Washington Post has about private contractors overcharging the government in the name of national security. Washington Post story.
