Lets be honest, I do not trust Obama, Clinton, any of the Republicans or what left of the Democrats, I would rather donate money to a private organization with some assurances to non partisanship to give me the scoop on who is doing what and remains professionally skeptical and does not affiliate with any organization rather donate and all of these corrupts coffers. These people use tax funds (such as the World Bank) to make private dollars you know Accounting should be a requirement in High School so people can see how easy it is to funnel dollars. What do you think?

From the answers I am getting it appears as if people think the Status Quo is Ok. Yes its a problem but I will let it slid.

I guess the point I was trying to make is if you put so many eyes on all of those trillions and I do mean trillions of dollers perhaps it will have an effect of dilluting the pot and bring back some solitatiry. Perhaps you would have to have multiple international agencies that are unaffiliated.

I agree that neither side can be trusted. Government is based on greed just like most corporations (but at least corporations are honest about it). It seems that nothing is done for the common good anymore. I like your idea but sadly this would degrade into another form of government. Anywhere we have money going, someone with a me first attitude will follow. Selflessness seems non existent in the world today and I don't see a way to bring it back unless this country changes it's attitude toward their higher power. Are we truly independent and free in this country anymore? I don't think so. We as a people have subjected ourselves to something worse than a king, we have allowed an entire system to control every aspect of our lives and thought. On an individual basis we each need to choose to be involved in voting out those who don't complete their employ as we see fit instead of just ignoring it and hoping the leadership will vote with the best for the whole country in mind. And how about thinking about the best for the whole on an individual basis instead of only seeing how an issue affects us personally. No agency can do this for us. We must take personal responsibility. I believe that is the secret in two words - personal responsibility - if we all did that we could solve alot of problems.

It's a good idea, but unfortunately these agencies must be run by people. People have personal beliefs, biases, can be tempted. Who's to say the people working in this watchdog agency would not succumb, just like the people in Washington? It's tough being a human being.

They could only tell us what we already know. There's not an honest sonofabitch in Washington. We don't need a billion dollar agency to tell us that. Just a cheap t v.
