So what to do about spending? They say vote the problem out, the American people will decide.

Does not work, we have become too corrupt, and the entire process is fixed.
A humble federal contractor finds abuse of taxpayers funds, and is promptly fired. And we have not even seen any of the $60 Billion appropriated last week. I live in the west so Sandy did not affect me, but this is what we get for our tax dollars????
I fear we have no other choice. Prepare for the reckoning.

No good deed goes unpunished in New York: the state has abruptly cut off a contract with the independent auditor who found that the state had been wasting federal money meant to be spent on Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts.

“I didn’t believe I did anything to be escorted off the premises,” Sadowski told the Times Union. “I wasn’t trying to get back at anybody or get anybody in trouble.” But Sadowski said he believed he was fired for finding the waste. “I was relieved of my duties because I identified these problems,” he said.

He also could not find the location of $1 million in kosher meals bought for Sandy victims and was directly told to stop looking into that expense. Sadowski said that the department had “lost accountability” of the meals.

State officials say that Sadowski exceeded his authority by conducting an audit, but Sadowski felt that part of his procurement job included accounting for and tracking the expenditures.

Sadowski charged the state under $6,000 for his work.
