This article literally makes me sick. Hey, the countries supposedly heading into a recession. No problem for some 300,000 + federal employees:

Federal employees charged millions of dollars for Internet dating, tailor-made suits, lingerie, lavish dinners and other questionable expenses to their government credit cards over a 15-month period, congressional auditors say.

The review of card spending at more than a dozen departments from 2005 to 2006 found that nearly 41 percent of roughly $14 billion in credit-card purchases, whether legitimate or questionable, did not follow procedure — either because they were not properly authorized or they had not been signed for by an independent third party as called for in federal rules to deter fraud.

Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party member…whatever. This is unacceptable. What’s sad is nothing will probably happen, and things will continue like normal. Where is the accountability? Why can’t the government be more transparent?

So voting on a stimulus package and debating on what to do with our money turned out to be a huge problem, yet they have no problem using our money to pay for their lives. Next time federal agencies complain about budget cuts, just remember we provide them with a budget. They work for us, not vice versa. Apparently there’s no money for teachers and public education, yet federal employees can buy newly tailored suits and dates online.

Jesus needs to come back.
