It’s obviously a sham, but nobody’s looking too hard. People think that politicians are on the take and they’re right, but it’s not in the way that everyone thinks. Nobody takes bags of cash these days. If you did, you’d end up in federal prison. It’s all done with undisclosed conflicts of interest. You show me a member of Congress who’s part of the appropriations process and I’ll show you a wife, child, or brother-in-law with a company that benefits from federal dollars.
