DEA spent $800k on data it could get for free to avoid official channels

#1  It's difficult to imagine that $800K went to one person for data that is free or openly accessible to law enforcement. I wonder where all the money really went?

#1  Hope and change!

#2  ...but, but we need to flood the low skilled labor market will with hundreds of thousands a million more workers who can't speak English and another hundred thousand H1-B workers to keep skilled workers wages down! /sarc

#3  Don't worry, a house is much less affordable now as well, even if wages hadn't fallen!

#4  Is lowering the minimum wage an option? To keep up with deflation.

#5  Government dependency? More foot soldiers for the Free Shit Army, meaning more voters for the Damnationcrats. Working as designed.

#6  23% less. Add to that there are far fewer jobs now than before 2008 despite what they say in the D.C. Magic Kingdom.
