  • You mean that money was for the farmers?

    Posted by Matt Dioguardi on September 30th, 2007

    From Asahi:

    Two farm groups that have received huge amounts of state subsidies spent 33 million yen on tickets to repeated fund-raising parties for a lawmaker, apparently to evade regulations on political donations, sources said.

    It’s kind of like the more money you give quasi-government organizations, the more they spend it on getting even more money … not a bad racket — unless you get caught.
