The Lack of Government Accountability, is it an easy way to steal America's money? Are we really in a depression here in America? The stock market keeps sliding downward and the news is foreboding when the subject is our nation's economy.
We are in the worse financial crisis since the 1930's.

We are on the edge of absolute chaos and in the midst of it all; the publicity machine is white washing the problem to the point that it is a popular topic of interpretation for many expert financial analysts, pundits, and commentators.

Just where is the money going, for what and by whom was the money spent? If you don't have to account, then you are free and clear to spend our money any way you choose.

The lack of accountability is a blank check to squander the money in our nation's pockets. Let me ask you these questions? Are there people receiving money from our government who are actually enemies of the state and are they using that money against America? Which branch of the American
