I would love to have a detailed spreadsheet of what was actually purchased on Delay's and Abramoff's Golfing trip to Scotland! 6 days = $150,000. Now that is some short break!
I think Mr. Lincoln's words from this letter are prophetic:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
- Abraham Lincoln, Letter to Col. William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864
