Folks are claiming that Afghanistan is the most corrupt place on the planet-- I vote for the good ole USA. Here in the land of the quick buck and glad hand, politicians are routinely bought (75 million for a president, 10 million for a senator, 3 million for a house member), statistics massaged and gamed (NYS standardized school testing results), defective products sold (Wall Street sells junk mortgages as AAA rated securities might be the biggest and most costly scam ever)
And, as HL Mencken correctly observed: no one even went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
