Workers at the General Services Administration think wasting taxpayer money is so hilarious, they can’t help singing about it!

A shocking new video has surfaced showing an employee for the embattled agency wearing sunglasses and performing a wild rap song in which he jokes about blowing public dough on lavish perks.

The musical celebration of careless spending was so well received by other GSA workers, they actually gave it the top prize in a talent show held during a notorious 2010 junket to Las Vegas in which the federal agency blew $820,000 on a four-day bash.

In the short video —dubbed “American Idle” —employee Hank Terlaje, 28, raps about spending the agency’s budget “all on fun,” as a large-screen TV is shown being installed in a GSA office.

“I buy everything your [ATF] field office can’t afford,” he warbles, in what appears to be a hip-hop slam on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

They had the video on fox news and the most infuriating comment I heard was that "it's going to happen whether you have a democrat or republican in office."
I think it is time to outlaw government unions and start charging employees with misappropriation of funds or malfeasance or something to get control of our employees.

Meanwhile the GSA did a junket to Las Vegas. $6,325 for commemorative coins, which saluted the GSA’s work on the stimulus spending backed by Obama.

Worth watching what they think of us hard-working “US Taxpayers”. Also makes me really want to make it a “12% Flat Tax” and cut 60% of the US Govt bureaucrat schmucks.

Close that “US Taxpayer Trough” to all of the bastards, dammit!

Just think, they come after us with guns for tax money.

So they can smirk and party.

And government isn't just a gangbanger racket?

Of course not. There was no waste in government until Obama took office.
