The amount of fraud that goes on in our government at the federal level is unbelievable and most people have no idea how bad it actually is. For instance consider Government credit card abuse and wasteful spending by government workers using taxpayers money. Did you know that each year millions of dollars go unaccounted for in audits by the federal government and their various agencies; some 3000. It is true.

Often they catch government workers up using government credit cards and stealing taxpayers money, but very rarely is anyone ever put in jail for it. It is stealing even though the United States federal government passed a law in June of 2006 to stop the government credit card fraud and abuse it still goes on. It is not as if they needed a law to tell people not to steal because people know that that is taxpayers money and they know what personal expenses are and they surely know what official government business is.

Some people have been quite concerned with the government credit card use of military personnel. Yet, if you consider that soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serve our country and risk their lives surely they deserve a little R and R on the town between missions. That I completely understand. But when government lawyers set up a training meeting at an exclusive golf course and tennis resort, which is only miles away from an Official Federal Government Training Facility; well I have a problem with that.

When USDA government employees buy Ozzy Osbourne Concert tickets with a government credit card; well, I have a problem with that too. When Washington, DC workers use their credit card to take their families to expensive restaurants, buy cruise vacations or take their cars to the local car wash; I have a problem with that. And this is the reason that I have put together a team of writers to speak out and write on the subject of government credit card abuse, fraud and stealing of taxpayers money. Quite frankly we will not put up with this. Please consider this in 2006.
