Joe Biden and the "Stimulus" - Never Mind?

The following is cross-posted at www.fiscalaccountability.org:

At a roundtable in New York yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden, tasked by the President with overseeing the spending of the "stimulus" package, acknowledged the following:

We know some of this money is going to be wasted (...)

and he continued on to say:

There are going to be mistakes made. (...) Some people are being scammed already. (...) Our credibility depends on transparency.

Why, thanks Mr. Vice President. So much for a package that supposedly contained no waste, no pork-barrel spending and would be under such tight scrutiny that there would be no abuse.  If I remember correctly, the exact words coming from the President on this were:

Without waste, without inefficiency, without fraud.

So much for that.  But at least we have transparency, right? Oh, wait, that's not working so well either, now is it ... Never mind?
