Well, what did you expect would happen? It's the same buddies sitting at the Fed, the SEC, Goldman Sachs. There's no real oversight. Why wouldn't they abuse it? There's a ton of money to be stolen, and nobody is watching.

Exactly. All the more reason that the efforts of Participatory Politics Foundation and Sunlight Foundation with OpenGovernment are needed. Even better, it's open source, so we can all dig in and do our part to help better prevent this madness from happening right under our noses.

We also plan to have them on a future podcast episode. Maybe later this month or early next after they launch the beta.
