After many promises of "transparency", it’s clear that where taxpayer billions- I mean TRILLIONS- are going, is going to remain a secret. Not just to taxpayers, but to Congress as well. Hat tip to Freedom’s Phoenix for this video:

How in the world are these people getting away with this? Obama still wants things rushed through and his party is willing to do so. It’s gunna be a long 4 years. Igor says crazy. I say organized
There has been a -lot- of things done in secret and illegally in the last few years, going right up to the president. I personally think they get away with it because the majority of the population is not very good at thinking
on their ownabout things objectively, and are far too willing to trust the media at face value. The large media outlets, in general, simply regurgitate whatever they’re told, or whatever can be sensationalized the most for ratings purposes. Kudos to Twist, John M, and the other bloggers who (sadly enough) do more research than most mainstream news outlets.Guy I used to work with told me the best thing he can teach his kids is to question everything. Not to the point of mistrust, but just to question.
Perhaps our nation, especially its leaders, could use a 5 minute refresher on skeptical vs. cynical.
Of course, if you’re a government “leader,” cynical and apathetic and discouraged might be what you’re going for.
Skeptics may need to be answered, where cynics may not.
