We are never going to have good government until we get money out of politics.

And there’s a reason for that.

Please meet the good folks at ATI Enterprises Inc, including a Mr. Arthur Benjamin among others.  They opened schools in Texas, Florida, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.  Only problem was – the schools were a scam.

ATI Enterprises Inc. will pay the government $3.7 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations that it falsely certified compliance with federal student aid programs’ eligibility requirements and submitted claims for ineligible students, the Justice Department announced today.

Okay, so there’s a fine involved.  However, it appears that nobody is going to jail.

The government further alleged that ATI employees engaged in fraudulent practices to induce students to enroll and maintain their enrollment in the schools.   This falsely increased the schools’ enrollment numbers, and consequently, the amount of federal dollars they received at the expense of taxpayers and students, who incurred long-term debt.

So, you can defraud the government and college students and when caught, you can just give some of the money back?   You know except for the money you gave politicians.

(Click the little ones to get the big ones and boy howdy theres a mess of them.)

The money made defrauding the government goes to politician pockets, which might explain why no one is going to jail.

Told ya it was gonna make you sick.  That’s my job every now and then – just to keep you on your toes.
