We the people of these United States have suffered through much over the past years. Everything from high ranking officials that not only ignore our wishes, but even go so far as to lie to us, steal from us, and are allowed to slip through the fingers of our legal system. It’s one thing for us to be fooled into electing them. It’s quite another to have to sit back and fail to serve the laws of the people.
This evenings news exposed that there are literally millions of tax payer dollars being spent by civil servants to splurge on personal expenses that include dinners, liquor, toys, evening wear, and in one case one person funneled over $600,000 to her boyfriend … all through the government credit card program. Worst of all, it had to found through audits of the OMB.
Where are our watchdogs? Who is failing to review these expenses BEFORE they get out of their particular offices? Where is the GAO and why hasn’t the FB I conducted a series of raids to arrest these thieves? And now to add insult to injury, we are being told the users have disappeared and can’t be found! When I had a government credit card my personal name was on it and every transaction. A detailed report was presented to our boss each month and if there was even a question about an expense, we were grilled until explanations were satisfactory.
Folks, we pay these clowns for their services. Civil Servants, congress-people, judges, federal agents, and a lot more. Is it too much for us to ask them to do their jobs, do them honestly, and represent our wishes? Is it too much to ask our elected officials to give us access to all the non-classified documents that are our property? Is it too much to expect all large expenses to be made part of the public record, debated in open session and properly attributed to those that benefit from them?
I propose that anytime any public official breaks the law, steals, or misrepresents themselves, the full and complete details be published by the office of the Inspector General of the United States on a web site that anyone with a computer can see. Make it easily searched by name, position, state, and under what congressional representation the acts were performed. Only when we put these people in the public spotlight will there be justice and we will have the opportunity to hold those accountable to their sworn oath of office and their duty to we, the citizens & taxpayers.

I have the feeling that the people that make and enforce the laws are also the ones stealing from us. A few million dollars stolen is just a drop in the bucket of trillions taken from us by our gov't. I don't think I'm the only person whose biggest annual expense is taxes. The bastards...
...funny thing is that the American revolution came about as a response to wealthy Brits not wanting to pay a 15% tax and trying to pass it on to the colonies.

You only have to look at the captain of the ship or the driver of the Bus. In this case we have Larry, Moe and Currley. If you are setting a bad example at the top, how do you think the lower dewellers will do.
Iraq has a surplus of money from their oil, it is time for them to start paying for the use of our soldiers and a handsome payment to each family that has lost some one.
Larry, Moe and Currley )Bush, Chenny, and Rove must be held accountable for the grieg and hard times that they have caused this country. Bush and Chenny should be held for war crimes and Rove is the closest thing to an Anti-Christ that exist. You have not seen what he is cooking up for the Demoncrat party or anyone that wants to put their hands on their pocket book.

I like that proposal, that's something I'd like to see.
I read that story today, too and it's disgusting. I don't understand how we've become a society that has no morals and no accountablity in what seems like overnight. Where is a sense of right and wrong that I grew up with, and how come these folks don't seem to know the difference between the two? It just really ticks me off.
Good blog.
