Last evening, I got home from picking up Kim at the airport - about 11 pm maybe a bit later. A local talk show host named Bernie Ward was on. He has been opposed to much of the same things I am. That is well covered with a single name: dubya or shrub or George W. Bush
Last evening, Bernie mentioned the 40 billion for relief and rebuilding in N. O. and that some of the congress persons did not vote on it because there is NO accounting. Just a blank check with a not "spend me". They did this in Iraq and billions have gone missing.
But then George made it OK for the contractors to pay below the prevailing wage. Kind of a charity scheme for the construction companies.
I looked for the article and found none.
So I eMailed a friend in Nevada and he found one article describing the double dealing. And yes it is from New Zealand.
Not a single news agency worthy of the title in this whole darn country (the US) .
