the TSA wasted a half million dollars on an awards ceremony... yay for responsibility and defending the homeland!
I can tell you first hand, the government wastes money like you would not believe. When the Federal government budgets anything, in any department, expect this sort of waste at the highest levels. You don't like it? Run for a Congressional seat.
Sure you can. If not, work at it. Political power is what you want, so do what you must to get it. Never lie enough to be caught, but bend the truth enough to be elected. If, in the end, you have done good then you are justified.
that is true i'd rather be in humanitarian law though, helping to influence politicians to take action
