It's nothing new, I've come to the conclusion mankind is inherently dishonest and greedy...matters not how far back in time you go, you'll always see it.

Oh, and how you folks can say "Union Pension Fund" and "Graft" in the same sentence without laughing at the absurdity of that idea is, well, just beyond me. No way that any union pension funds have ever bee used improperly. Look at all the oversight and regulations! Just ask the folks at Freddie and Fannie, ask Mr. Madoff. Worldcom, Enron, Countrywide. Oversight cures all. You bet.
