Crooks and Liars:
From Wednesday’s Countdown, with guest host Rachel Maddow, we give you the latest in the never-ending list of scandals that is the Bush administration:
First up, the truth that proves the lie that the private sector handles government functions more efficiently than the government could. Turns out, not so much…in fact there is currently a backlog of more than 900 cases languishing alleging federal contractors defrauding the federal government because the Justice Department could not keep pace with the number of whistleblowers coming forward.
“Even if no new cases are filed, it might take 10 years for the Department of Justice to clear its desk. Cases in the backlog represent a lot of money being left on the table,” said Patrick Burns, a spokesman for Taxpayers Against Fraud, which advocates for Justice to receive more funding to support cases by whistle-blowers and their attorneys.
Supporters of federal intervention in the cases say the dividends are substantial: In recent years, verdicts and settlements have returned nearly $13 billion to the U.S. government.
