In the past, most things were done according to our laws and regulations.

Most things were done with checks, balances, and audits.

Most things were done with the welfare and security of our people as a priority.

Most Federal agencies had qualified people doing their best to serve their country.

Nope, we sure don't do things the way they have been done in the past.
