Big Money Scandal Inevitable


Al Hunt has a prediction: "The U.S. is due for a huge scandal involving big money, bribery and politicians. Not the small fry that dominates the ethics fights in Washington; really big stuff; think Watergate."

"It is axiomatic in politics that without accountability there is abuse. This year, there is a massive infusion of special-interest money into U.S. politics that is secret, not reported. Corporations and other interests will spend more than $250 million of undisclosed funds to affect the outcome of the Nov. 2 national elections."

1. Don't hold your breath....
..we've needed oversight for many years yet nothing ever gets done because the thieves we call politicians make the damned laws and choose who they will or will not investigate. $100,000 under the table will get you just about anything you want these days. We have the best justice money can buy, and it is sickening!
