I had a friend who worked for the FDA. . .He was a property manager. He couldn't believe the waste and fraud he discovered. Not just empty office buildings, but empty office buildings that still had active, daily, full-service premium cleaning contracts. But did that stop Steny Hoyer and Barbara Mikulski from pushing for the "urgent need" for more construction of more government buildings in Maryland. . .HA!
Not only could my friend not find one upper management person who cared about waste and fraud. . .he discovered THEY WERE WILLING PARTICIPANTS. . kickbacks on kickbacks. . .Needless to say. . .my friend was soon retired for his efforts to bring FDA corruption to light. . . .and this was just one department. . .multiply it by a million.
