More hands muddying the money trail, more people to blame when questions arise. These folks are old pros at the grand con game called corrupt government.
I'm reminded of the movie Operation Petticoat. Cary Grant was the skipper of a submarine, and Tony Curtis was his "supply" officer who specialized in creative larceny to get things done. During an air raid, the supply troops headed out, saying "In confusion, there is profit."
