White House is not going to be three years from now, or three
and-a-half years from now. It’s going to be about eight years
from now after Obama’s second term, because that’s when the
corruption will start coming to the surface. Because when you
disperse so much money over a short period of time, without
adequate controls, even if five percent of it results in fraud,
you’re talking about at least a hundred billion dollars.
“And that’s the problem that we have. So if I were a criminal
today, I’d be looking to take advantage of all of the money
that the government is disbursing at relatively short periods of
time because I know that the government cannot adequately
control that money.”
In August 2009, the New York Times reported that investigators
fear the mafia is moving in on the stimulus funds. “They
want their taste,” said one investigator.
