From the inestimable, David Brin, to my conservative friends. Let’s play: What if Bill Clinton…
- canceled rules requiring that government contracts be awarded by competitive bidding — (it’s called capitalism) — and instead granted multibillion dollar sweetheart deals directly to liberal cronies and Clinton family friends, free of supervision or auditing?
- used the words “emergency” and “top secret” to conceal those crooked deals?
- hid the fact that each private contractor costs five to ten times as much as a soldier or civil servant, while doing astonishingly shoddy work?
- then appointed “inspectors” to many cabinet departments and Iraq reconstruction agencies, who had no professional qualifications other than longtime political loyalty to Bill Clinton?
- then managed to lose, waste or “misplace” more Iraqi oil each and every week than the UN “Oil For Food Program” did in its entire history?
What would you have said about the last 7 years?
