1. That's a great graphic. Many thanks.

Not as insidious as the whole military-political-corporate-lobbying complex, but still enormous.

So many of those supposedly consumer-friendly corporations couldn't exist without sucking at the teats of the gov't. Real businesses have to answer to bottom-line concerns and be transparent in their activities. Not so much the ones that have "special" arrangements.

3. And this is only for ONE of the programs under Homeland Security.

Many of the same businesses have Federal AND state prison contracts.
I don't even want to start about about all the private contractors that big cities use to replace jobs that Police Depts once did. Like Meter Maids...
