Someone asked Truman about a high price paid by the government for some common item, and asserted that the price was too high, that the defense contractor had charged too much.

Perhaps one reason why no banksters are arrested is because they didn’t break the law. Not that they didn’t do anything wrong, but the laws are written to permit some things, and not permit others. If you do the things that are not permitted, you are more likely to get arrested.

Doesn't explain Corzine though. What he did was blatantly illegal, but he gets a pass because he's an Obama crony.
