Al Pires created a system to exploit black farmers in the South, who only numbered about 3,000 expected claimants at the outset. Pigford has ended up with about 94,000 claimants, thanks in no small part to Sen. Barack Obama’s sponsorship of a bill to extend Pigford when he was in the Senate. Meanwhile, black farmers who were actually discriminated against by the USDA were scammed to benefit the class action attorneys involved, who made a killing off of Pigford. The farmers, meanwhile, lost their land and continue to be victims of the entire process.
Even before BHO was elected to the Senate there was massive evidence that Pigford was a fraud on the taxpayer. Yet BHO sponsored a massive expansion of said fraud. Of course when you grow up in the Chicago machine you really don't learn that you represent the taxpayers, what you learn is impunity. This is what Boss Tweed of Tammany called "Honest Graft".
And its on display every day in the Executive Branch. Like I've said before: the real losers in the BHO saga are "Good Government" liberals. Because after watching all of the self dealing and 2,700 page unread laws and 733 waivers and double paid government workers and Pigfords no one. And I mean no one can look at our Federal government as anything but a rapacious beast serving its own ends.
Read the whole thing.
