According to recent reports millions are wasted on government credit cards.

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.

If I charge too much for anything it gets flagged and my supervisor has to approve it. And believe you me I better not step out of line or it's my job. Apparently if you work for the government it just ain't the same. Seems like there needs to be improved checks and balances on the fed's blank checks and credit balances. I mean some stuff I can understand.

Justice Department and FBI employees charged $11,000 at a Ritz Carlton hotel for coffee and "light" refreshments for 50 to 70 attendees for four days, averaging about $50 per person.

Have you ever ordered room service or had a hotel cater? It ain't ever cheap. But my two favorite quotes from this article follow.

At the State Department, one credit-card holder bought $360 worth of women's lingerie at Seduccion Boutique for use during jungle training by trainees of a drug enforcement program in Ecuador.

What sort of training was that exactly? And then there's this:

In the Internet dating case, a postmaster charged $1,100 over 15 months for two online services, including the Ashley Madison Agency. The expenses went unnoticed for more than a year even though he was under internal investigation for viewing pornography on a government computer. The postmaster was eventually told to repay the Internet charges but faced no disciplinary action.

Surfing porn and charging the company card for "online dating" would be disastrous for most careers, but not this guy.

"Too many government employees have viewed purchase cards as their personal line of credit," said Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on investigations, which requested the GAO report. "When money that was intended to pay for critical infrastructure, education and homeland security is instead being spent on iPods, lingerie and socializing, we must immediately remedy the problem."

Gee ya think? Of course I doubt it will be too immediate. Consider that all these gents are experts at finding ways to hide expenditures so that they can line the pockets of PACs and contributors and you'll understand why I'm a little suspicious.
