Here is the article that details the absolute incompetence in our government. It is my understanding that they still don't know who the $800 million went to, even today.
This is one of the items that Rush was talking about on his show yesterday. I was talking to a teacher friend of mine who has dealt with the Department of Education many times...says they are completely incompetent and is not surprised at all that they would steal/lose/misplace $800 Million.
