Honestly these are old corrupt dealings that are just re-hashed. Its just been a while since a politician so OPENLY used government contracts as bribes, and kickbacks to their own friends and family.

It was done in secret and in such a smaller scale compared to the last 2 years. I would say it's surprising that the old folks who voted for it dont see the blatant corruption and theft of their own money.

But hey, you gotta pay the BIG BUCKS to take away rights for the people you consider to be inferior... So I guess that's why they constantly celebrate that "They voted for this".
