you only need to observe your local town/city/state officials to know that coersion/graft/corruption are inevitable/expected. The local contractors want and need certain "favors" ..tax exemptions, contracts for municiple work, ect.......all can be bought for a price....when these same folks get to DC the numbers just get bigger and the pork projects larger.....our system has been fine tuned for decades...change I fear will not come easily.
