An updat on this story I just read said that these women have been charged with multiple felonies, but have not been arrested.

If I, or any other Boise citizen, was charged with multiple felonies, a SWAT team would be kicking down our door at 3am, guaranteed!

This is yet another example of our government protecting its own, while treating the average citizen like a terrorist.

EDITOR NOTE–This is white collar crime, so it is handled more delicately.

Well said on both points Rod in SE Boise.

J Smith: Did you read the article? Bernie Madoff was one of the poor citizens that had $1.7 billion, “stolen”, from him. I’m sure a lot of the money comes from organized crime and drug cartels as well. The article even admits that a lot of that money is re-distributed to the people who it was ACTUALLY stolen from in the first place but don’t let that little fact get in the way of a good anti-government rant.

Rod in SE Boise – Actually, the government thugs are stealing more than the “private sector crooks”.

Law enforcement took more stuff from people than burglars did last year

Editor: The private sector crooks (and incompetents) are costing consumers tons of money. I am both a taxpayer and a consumer.

State or county employees are just as competent (or incompetent) (or just as honest or dishonest) as anyone working in a restaurant, insurance company, or computer chip manufacturer. It is the elected officials and CEO’s you all should be hating on.

Editor note: Rod, we agree with what you say, but the private sector crooks aren’t messing with PUBLIC money.

Due to the lack of controls in the Idaho Liquor Dispensary, I am an alcoholic and will filling a tort claim.

My bartender will be a co-defendant since he asked me if I wanted another drink.

My attorney assures me I will prevail, but asks that I pre-pay him his fee in cash.

Trump Solution:: They must all be valuable (at least at the state level). The legislature is likely going to give them a 3% across the board raise. sarcasm.

I’ve no doubt complete innocents and people doing their best with incompetent or unclear guidance are caught in the dragnet. My grandfather taught me to leave a job as soon as possible if I was working for an idiot or a crook… “it will taint you if you stay too long, you will be thrown under the bus”

Trump Solution

Ya know, a bunch of those government office buildings could be converted to housing. These people seem to be very expensive and unproductive. Fire everyone and see if anyone notices.
