Did you mean to say: gave us OUR money directly?

All that can be sai of politicians: Kleptocratic nincomppoops.

From: kleptocracy  = a government or state in which those in power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves.

From: kleptomaniac - someone with an irrational urge to steal in the absence of an economic motive
appropriator - someone who takes for his or her own use (especially without permission)
