Why do we find out about all the funny business in OpEd pieces like this piece by Mr. Wholforth or the other piece published today by Robin Brena?  Where is the press?  Why don't we hear about what our money is being spent on, and the role of our government in allowing the waste, every  evening on the news (or read about it)?  Where are the editors and reporters?  Seems to me something in our democratic system isn't working properly.  Citizens need to be informed!
