They are the tip of the iceberg.
However, their very presence tells us that the system they run is corrupt from the head down.

This might seem like small potatoes, but a tiny school district was paying $1 million/year in health care commissions to this thief.
She was doing that all over NJ and she was selling for the largest insurer in the state.. Blue Cross.

Is she the only one?
I doubt it.
More nits?

>Anybody who bought property in the '70s is in good form today. Even those who bought in the 90s are in finer form than those leaving school now. Why? There was no particular skill or merit in being of age to buy a house before the years of property inflation. Why is it fair to fiercely defend such windfall as your own prowess while insisting that somebody else has to pay for your healthcare because it was underfunded in the years when public investment would have yielded massive asset backing to pay for benefits forever? I keep pointing to the Australian Super scheme, a similar scheme in the US would have yielded hundred/s of trillions, allowing the nation to shrug off the banking debacle and add $1-3T/year to Medicare without significantly affecting the asset base. Too late now- inflation is redefined as naughty by those who benefited themselves but now want to preserve the value of their savings.
