GSA Scandal...

[UVAwahoos]

Just wondering when $800k of our taxpayer money goes to something that all people (no matter what political party) agree is just plain wrong, why the fuck don't I get a lower tax rate or a refund? Instead, a couple of these dudes will lose their jobs and a couple more will go to jail. So guess what? We're going to spend more taxpayer money to feed and shelter them in prison.

I am getting the shit taxed out of me this year, and then I read about stuff like this, and it just makes me really angry.

I am happy I can drive on great roads and have excellent utilities and other things that come with taxes. It's just a joke that they take advantage of our money like this, and there's no real accountability except some dumb congress session and a couple angry articles.

The fact that western US GSA official Jeffrey Neeley opted for a clown show, a mind-reader, $6,000 in commemorative coins, a $75,000 bicycle-building team exercise, and 2,000 square-foot suites at the Las Vegas blow-out is but part of the story, according to members of a panel of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

After all, Mr. Neeley won a $9,000 performance bonus from GSA higher-ups following the $823,000 Las Vegas conference.
