Stephan:   I am constantly amazed at the growing corruption of the American government. It is unlike anything I have seen in my lifetime. We have 17 millions children who go to bed hungry; we have elders who have lost even the one meal a day they could rely upon; we have 47 million people without health insurance. But we have plenty of money to throw at the mad scheme on our southern border. An utterly useless waste of billions. But it is going to make a small group of corporations vastly richer. It is a disgusting trend illustrating the failure of both the Congress and the Presidency to serve the real interests of the people.
