Pigs at the trough

A Republican president means loads of money for everyone! Every defense contractor that is:

NORFOLK - A Chesapeake defense contractor admitted in federal court Monday that his company bilked the Navy out of more than $600,000 by filing phony invoices.

Kennis Sigmon, president of The Sigmon Group, pleaded guilty on behalf of the company to two felony counts of filing false claims.

The company admitted submitting 33 phony invoices from 2001 to 2003 for contract work on Navy aircraft carriers the Carl Vinson and the Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I don't think the defense 'But everyone is doing it' will work anymore....

And do you think we will ever EVER see the money that is owed to us? From Enron? Halliburton? Do ya think?

A plush govt contract and they still have to fake it? Greed knows no bounds.

It will be interesting (ha!) to see what they will call this era. Like 'The McCarthy Era', maybe something like: The Looting of the Treasury Era? The Blundering Bush Age? The Naughty Neocons? The Oiligarcy Era?

We have so much to choose from....

I've decided to call it the Bushmonger Era.
