Coming to light and being corrected is functionally not the same as
"exploded".....None of the corporate scandals involve some new behavior
unique to the duration of the Bush administration.... in fact the cooked
books all happened or began under the previous administration.

You might find it helpful to grasp a basic understanding of corporate
accounting rules, procedures and process.

And what has the Bush administration done that has been to detriment of the
"voter" but benefiting some corporation?

Roughly half of America works for a large corporation and of this work a
wide assortment of goods and services are provided for our needs, wants and
well being. Somehow the idea that corporations are inherently some evil
being sucking the very life blood out of the country has no basis. Hard to
believe but often as not what is good for a corporation is both good for a
consumer and for labor. .

 Didn't congress pass and Bush sign a campaign contribution bill on Mar 27,
2002? Although any such bill is actually a negative as it severely limits
"free speech"... limiting access to the airwaves or print media (expensive)
of ideas does not do us any favors.

What has Bush been sold to the highest bidder? Me thinks you speak many
empty words.
