THIS MAKES ME SICK

This makes me sick. Shame on our politicians who let this happen. There are millions of Americans across America who need help and they allow this to happen.
Why in the world are Washington area firms getting more than 2.2 BILLION in stimulus funds? Washington private firms???
1. Washington, which is loaded with lobbyists, has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation (the employer is the federal government and they are not laying off ! This is not a manufacturing city.) Why put 2.2 BILLION into our economy here??? (you know why...the fix is in!)
2. Why is the government doing the administrative work? What do we pay the government workers for? Why are we keeping government workers on the payroll and outsourcing THEIR work?
"....More than $2.2 billion of the stimulus money awarded to the Washington area has gone to private firms, many of which are helping federal agencies with the administrative work generated by the sprawling effort: deciding how to award funds, drawing up contracts and monitoring and auditing spending. Some help federal agencies with their internal monitoring systems and public-relations efforts...."
3. By the way, I will bet my right arm that there was no competitive bidding for these contracts amounting to 2.2 billion dollars. We did not get the best deal...instead, House, Senate and the White House's best friends got THEIR palms greased with YOUR money.
