Personally I think the US government wastes enough on nonsense so I'm not really bothered. Plus if you look at most wealthy people in the USA they got that way through scamming and crime. I wish I knew how to get money like that.

Hu, that's massive!

I should be happy then that here in Germany we just had some crooked politicians and daughters of politicians getting bribed with millions to buy highly overpriced CoViD19 masks in the name of the state. At least she got jail time for it, but that one politician is still roaming free AND is active in politics... Oh, and there is that secretary of transport that signed a contract that will cost the federation 250 million Euros... even when the company doesn't deliver or the state cancels the project...

Guess what... All of them linked to one particular party!
