Anyone think that the bank accounts of everyone in this Administration (including their spouses) should be investigated and audited including everyone connected to them? Do we have enough prison space to house those who are found dirty?
Yes they did, which is why I don't subscribe. The fact that my newspaper doesn't cover this scandal explains why so many people around here vote democrat.
I have to keep up with local news on the internet. Years ago it was a nice paper, but now it's part of a big chain.
If you thought the $535 million Haliburton scandal had chastened the fearless venture capitalists of the Bush Administration, think again. The Department of Energy shovelled out $1.1 billion in new loan guarantees to oil projects in Nevada and Arizona Wednesday, and more deals are pending before the $18 billion program funded by the 2009 tax reduction expires Friday.
We'll go out on a limb and say the rush raises questions about how carefully these outlays are being vetted, especially in light of oil producer Haliburton's August bankruptcy. The FBI, Treasury Department and Congress are all investigating who approved the politically connected Texas company's loan guarantee and why. The case is an embarrassment for the White House, which touted Haliburton as a model for its energy jobs agenda.
