Military Industrial Swamp
From this morning's Washington Post.
Nearly half the members of a powerful House subcommittee in control of Pentagon spending are under scrutiny by ethics investigators in Congress, who have trained their lens on the relationships between seven panel members and an influential lobbying firm founded by a former Capitol Hill aide.
Five of the seven are Democrats. Obama and Pelosi need to clean house. Get this ethics investigation going immediately so that if they are guilty we can get new candidates in place to run in 2010. As Obama said yesterday, the task of reforming the Pentagon has just begun. What he didn't say was that the forces arrayed against that reform are mighty and corrupt.

At the very least these investigations can be used counter to the immense pressure against defense budget cuts, especially in an election year of 2010.

Just one more piece of our entirely corrupt government. The general state of corruption is ignored by all of our elected officials. It is horrible.
