Republicans are Good with Money

Who says the Republicans aren’t generating jobs?
Ten years ago, with all the flourishes that attend political scandal in Washington, an independent counsel was appointed to investigate the case of Henry Cisneros, the former housing secretary. After four years of investigation, Mr. Cisneros pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a $10,000 fine for lying about how much he paid a former mistress. Case closed? Not at all.
The independent counsel’s work on the Cisneros case continues to grind forward six years later at a cost of $20 million and counting. A final report is promised sometime in the future. Taxpayers must be waiting with bated breath to read it.
