The New York Sun broke the news during Ulysses S. Grant's 1872 campaign.
In truth, Crédit Mobilier was established to defend the company's owners and management from the accusation that they were making money during the project's building rather than throughout its operation. The conspirators established the fictitious corporation in order to charge the U.S. government exorbitant fees and costs during the construction of the railroad since they thought they could not expect to make traditional profits from its operation.

Answer:
Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a person lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. This cycle is considered to be dukkha, unsatisfactory and painful. The cycle stops only if liberation is achieved by insight and the extinguishing of craving.
