Sounds like a stepping stone on the trendy new RED brick road being paved in our country – you know, the one that takes folks from long-term unemployed from private sector to eventual government cog (have you seen this? http://www.hsdent.com/blog/2010/05/24/all-roads-really-do-lead-to-washington/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HsDent+%28HS+Dent%29).

Just looking at the numbers on food stamps and other government assistance these days, it may be that whistle-blowing could look pretty attractive to some. However, they might be wise to look at the guy who blew the whistle on all those Swiss bank account holders (avoiding taxes or something the American citizens might not have been the real “benefactors” of, something like that – I think it was featured on Democracy Now sometime last year…) and, rather than being rewarded, was promptly sent to prison!!
