complex.

the hypocrisy of the law comes flying back into the face of the lawmakers. What happens if you make it against the law for the government to give funds to companies that has a few bad apples?

I can't think of a better way of illustrating the double standard at work here. Republicans have singled out a group to demonize based on the supposed bad acts of a few employees. Based on these incidents, we're supposed to conclude that the entire organization is corrupt and unworthy of continued existence. But when you apply that very same standard to defense contractors, they fair no better than ACORN.
