Collusion

Collusion in government, or Crony Capitalism, is definitely present today. A recent case is Rod Blagovich. He tried to sell an open senate seat. This is just a case that came out. Imagine all of the under the table deals that happen behind closed doors that government officials are involved in. The Muckrakers of the early 20th century would be all over this. With all of the new technology they would be twice as effective. I don't understand how they went away in the first place. It's not as if the political corruption in America just went away in the 1960's. Corruption is always present. Politics is the definition of the saying "Power corrupts."
