Millions of pages have been written about the phenomena you describe, but you say it very succinctly.

Unless they can profit from it.<BR/><BR/>Consistency is not their byword.<BR/><BR/>In less polite circles, it's called "situational ethics."<BR/><BR/>Or, by some, what it is, plainly and simply: greed. Full speed ahead, the public be damned.<BR/><BR/>Mortgage it, use the SBA to build your empire, find obscure but necessary govt. functions to privatize and make sure you're part of the "solution."<BR/><BR/>It's all so sickening. Not just because FSSA performs badly-needed services. But because it truly does need reforming, and Roob & Co.'s efforts simply shove back meaningful reform even further. Each side digs in, and it's warfare.<BR/><BR/>Modern-day politics at its best. Exploit and move on. God I love the smell of napalm in the morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
