  Waste and abuse in a war time situation are so common that I wonder why there is not a permanent committee to investigate these situations.When ever there is millions and billions of dollars.There are going to be many people who don't care about the fact the thousands of people are dieing.They just want the money.These people and companies need to be sent to jail,or disenfranchised so as to send the message that we find them and their actions despicable.These are the lowest of the low,who profit from others deaths.

  Well said Wolf and Whatheheck.

Lack of jobs and money plague all of us blue collar workers today.Wether we be black or white or brown or yellow.Our jobs have been off-shored,our politicians are corrupt(democrats and republicans),Big Business is choking the working class,and our president is killing us,literally!We don't live in a Marxist society.We …

  You are bang on Mr.Sirota.Now what do we do?I feel powerless against Big Business and Big Government.I write.I vote.I argue,but to what ends?Now I know what it was like to be black in this country.Nobody listens to me and nobody cares.I guess I will have to riot in the streets like black people did.Not much of a riot with just one person though and still no one will listen. I am not german.I don't know why there is a german flag included in my comments?
