While I have such low regard for his “smarts”, Walz apparently had a strong campaign dowry.
Consider the outcry when USAID funds were cut back.
Here we go again, but this is
only! a few billions, and for all the races (elections, that is) to be funded it's going to take a bigger pie if the levels of payoffs and house rakes are factored in.
Sure, that race might have only been an eighth (what was once the landowner royalty on drilling rights), but it's only one election, and there are so many to fund, media to keep flush despite failing viewership, newspapers and others who will want their slice of the pie, too. It's an ecology, an industrial complex, fueled at the bottom by fraud, and in the open by the donations and subscriptions of its fellow travelers. Lando, I don't think this is the tip of the iceberg, it is the tip of the pinky toe toenail of a troll of Nordic proportions.
I can see the parallel in the complexity of my own industry (legit), from the surveyors and seismic crews to the boardrooms, and the inestimable number of moving parts along the way that all have to be oiled for it to function.
Only in this case, the 'industry' is fueled by grift, a mafia-like network of rackets including this particular fraud ring, all feeding to a central entity or entities which work in cooperation to feed off the labor and ingenuity of actually productive Americans from behind a curtain of political partisanship.
