That's pretty standard corruption. But the Bush administration, as rotten as it was, would at least provide schools with resources to open.

Right now that's not happening. Why? Because there is no money in it. You can't get a kickback from a school, you can't get a lobbying gig, you can't get a board seat. There is nothing to gain.

By what measure is killing half a million people, standard corruption?

(and you didn't really mean to say that's okay when they would at least provide schools with resources to open ... did you?)
