By now we’ve all heard about the big, bad NSA snooping on our phone calls and skimming our emails, but there’s is a bit of oversight (or lack there of) that is much more concerning. In Iowa, the powers that be have actively chosen to hand over your tax dollars to citizens they deem worthy, in return, those citizens must prove absolutely nothing. They don’t have to account for what they spend, where they spend it, or what they spend it on. You’d think that would be the most acceptable use of oversight in this country, but you’d be wrong.
