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. |

Computer billing systems that make mistakes against the company get fixed immediately. The errors we've seen have nothing to do with computer errors. Most often it's for unordered materials and labor charges. Those are entry errors and likely deliberate. Also, so many people were making so much money they did not have time to care about overbilling. At any level of income, about three-fourths of people won't catch it, or find it worthless (not to mention too aggravating) to call them on it. Another issue is that the Justice Department, part of the executive, has been worthless since the mid 90's. Are you talking about the 1990's or the 1890's? Either one is valid. :~) Bush has not yet fixed it either. I wouldn't blame that on Congress though. If congress makes the laws that allows or pooh-poohs such behavior (not to mention encourages it; see the recent telemarketing and "anti-spam" laws...worthless) the executive branch can't do much. |
