I notice it's become a lot more prevalent since the Republicans took over
Congress.



I noticed the same thing, but blamed it on a differrent cause. The .com
boom. Computer billing systems that make mistakes against the company get
fixed immediately. Also, so many people were making so much money they did
not have time to care about overbilling.

Another issue is that the Justice Department, part of the executive, has
been worthless since the mid 90's. Bush has not yet fixed it either. I
wouldn't blame that on Congress though.
