Hastert joins the looting
I think it's time.
With the publication of The Conservative Nanny State, and the upcoming midterm elections, I think it's time to review the extent of the looting that has occured since the current batch of Republicans took control of the government.
Some looting, such as those described in The Conservative Nanny State, has taken place in the open. Other looting has been more discreet. But now, a new case comes to light: Dennis Hastert used his power to have the Federal government build a superhighway right next to his investment property--netting him $2 million.
More from the Houston Chronicle:

Hastert strongly denies the allegations, but the Sunshine Foundation (which uncovered the corruption) and Taxpayers for Common Sense are not backing down. Now NPR and the Washington Post have also picked up the story. I think this is going to be big.
