The wrong set of books are being attacked here, we need for the Federal Bureaucracy’s books to be audited. During the Clinton/Gore years those departments were larded with anyone who was warm and had two eye-balls for DNC votes. The departments handed out credit cards like candy and 55% were misused for personal uses. We taxpayers should demand the government be audited like any other business concern; government is not supposed to be in business against the people. Billions of dollars are wasted and unaccounted for in these vast depositories called agencies for the federal government.
For those Freepers who no longer have the list, here it is. We need to write the GOA about this and demand an accounting.
