美国是合法腐败，中国是非法腐败

区别是，在中国腐败如果被查出实据，仍然跑不了被连锅端的下场。在美国是，明知道这是腐败，但你是无能为力的。因为一切都是合法的，换句话说，富人制定的法律，他想做什么都是合法的。

竞选给钱，然后当选总统者组阁可以给出资者个大使，部长当当。在中国这纯粹就是买官卖官嘛？！在美国是完美的合法行为。说中国腐败的人，应该看看2003年CBS的一个关于拉姆斯费尔德的一个视频，在YOUTUBE上有。拉在一次大会上讲，美国防部有2.3万亿美元失踪了（LOST THE TRACK[Ref 1])。首先美国防部的钱都是纳税人的钱。让后，让我们假设，任何人只要不是白痴都不会把美元扔到厕所里冲掉。那么这笔钱一定是在某人或某组织的帐号上或家后院的地下或者不明不白的花了。让我们再假设，这2.3万亿中有误差，那么算少一半好了，就1万亿美元是实际的腐败数字。如果，把中国建国以来的所有贪污腐败的钱加在一起，谁能告诉我能有1万亿美元么？再退一步来讲，就算这2.3万亿美元是国防部的人粗心导致的纯粹浪费而已。那么，对单个政府部门造成的如此大的浪费数字没有人负责，本身就是一种腐败行为!

这还是个案，其他的华尔街用政府对华尔街的救助金发放高额奖金放在中国都是腐败案例。但在美国是堂而皇之。另外，美国军工联合体2000年对小布什的竞选资金支持是给戈尔的15倍。然后呢，小布什上台后找个莫须有的大规模杀伤性武器的理由（且不说，你美国有大规模杀伤性武器，为啥伊拉克就不能有？完全是强盗逻辑），对伊开战。死的是伊拉克老百姓，美国普通士兵，花的是美国纳税人的钱，而赚钱的呢？军工和石油大佬，那些当初支持小布什的，和小布什自家的产业。伊拉克战争花多少钱？整个这个CASE就是一彻头彻尾的大型腐败，世界上没哪个国家的腐败能同这样专业的腐败媲美。因此，是美国的贪污严重还是中国的贪污严重呢？

美国的纳税人每张支票纳的税都用来偿还国债，没有我以上说的事情会有那么多的国债么？因此，美国纳税人天天工作为腐败买单，可怜的是很多人还被人卖了还在为人吆喝！

The War On Waste
Defense Department Cannot Account For 25% Of Funds — $2.3 Trillion

(CBS) On Sept. 10, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy," he said.

He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.

"In fact, it could be said it's a matter of life and death," he said.

Rumsfeld promised change but the next day – Sept. 11-- the world changed and in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.

Just last week President Bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending."

More money for the Pentagon, CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends.

"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.

$2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.

"We know it's gone. But we don't know what they spent it on," said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service.

Minnery, a former Marine turned whistle-blower, is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets. Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records.

"The director looked at me and said 'Why do you care about this stuff?' It took me aback, you know? My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job," said Minnery.

He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off.

"They have to cover it up," he said. "That's where the corruption comes in. They have to cover up the fact that they can't do the job."

The Pentagon's Inspector General "partially substantiated" several of Minnery's allegations but could not prove officials tried "to manipulate the financial statements."

Twenty years ago, Department of Defense Analyst Franklin C. Spinney made headlines exposing what he calls the "accounting games." He's still there, and although he does not speak for the Pentagon, he believes the problem has gotten worse.

"Those numbers are pie in the sky. The books are cooked routinely year after year," he said.

Another critic of Pentagon waste, Retired Vice Admiral Jack Shanahan, commanded the Navy's 2nd Fleet the first time Donald Rumsfeld served as Defense Secretary, in 1976.

In his opinion, "With good financial oversight we could find $48 billion in loose change in that building, without having to hit the taxpayers."
