#4 The Chicago Union way.
1) Get a good cause project. embezzle the hell out of it.
2) Declare bankruptcy, rotate in fresh people for the next no-bid contract to be ripped off.

But now the Chicago mob has a man in in the White House and many n Congress ripping off and debiting all future generations.

#7 What?! They have unpaid bills!? Send in the swat teams, corral some, kill others and bury them in the desert. Declare them to be terrorists and sic Harry Reid on their children.

Oh, they're donors to the Democrats? Nevermind then.
