2 books titled “Scandals”
“The Clothes Lost The Emperor”-Paul Slansky (day by day chronology of 1980’s)
“Stealing From America”—
“Landslide”-Jane Mayer & Doyle McManus

Nathan Miller book states 233 were investigated
Haynes Johnson states 138 were --charged--indicted--found guilty -- investigated


p.s.—Newt and Gang spent $110,000,000-(GAO number) on Hearings and Investigations on Clinton

IMPORTANT---ONE for $110,000,000
and ONE—

(yes 1) person working for President Clinton was Found Guilty of a Felony. Evil man took few trips to ball games , etc. No quid pro quo per OIC –Pals doing what they had done for years—take pal to events. Pled guilty for did not have finances to fight the government and Smaltzsmear. His boss fought 37 such charges and was found not guilty on each charge.

138 charged is more than grand total since 1900.

I would appreciate anyone correcting what I write. I try to be honest but do make errors.

4. "He created a war-machine economy in a time of uneasy peace,"
"with defense spending in amounts not seen since the heights of the Korean and Vietnam conflicts and sustained for longer than either of those wars"

http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2004/040609-reagan-military.htm

The Pentagon also paid hundreds of dollars for a toilet seat and screwdriver. Dorado attributes this flaw to the Pentagon’s overspending habit, not from “mistakes, lack of expertise, or unforeseeable events. Rather, it is the outgrowth of a system in which key processes and incentives are better at saying “yes” than “no” to programs that fail to measure up. The challenge, Dorado insists, is to change the dynamics of this “culture.

7. Let's remember the GOP wants to honor this man by...
...putting his picture on the $50 bill. The claim is that Grant is undeserving because his Presidency was "so corrupt."

The Reagan Presidency was arguably the most corrupt in modern times. But hey, he's an American saint, right?
