Feds have 'gone wild' with taxpayer-funded credit cards
2014-10-17
[NYPOST] A congressional hearing on how federal agencies have "gone wild" with government credit cards found that personal use of taxpayer-funded cards is significant despite tighter controls passed in 2012.

Auditors revealed more than half of the $153,000 in credit-card purchases sampled at the Environmental Protection Agency were prohibited under the guidelines.

They included multi-course meals at an employee award ceremony, gift cards and family gym memberships.

#2  Why should they treat the credit cards any different than the Treasury? Come on guys, issuing Treasury Bonds is basically a credit care scam without limits (which procedurally that reach now and then, panic, and then raise the limits anyway).
