Hi
This wee there was an article in one of the Supermarket tabloids about Michelle Obama and her travel expenditures. A perfect lead in to my take on federal travel, does any one audit these expenditures? It would seem as if this is not done. A good accounting system would require an independent audit of such expenditures and I hope we taxpayers are getting one.
Travel, and the use of cars by the elected officials must be reined in. A while back congress woman had her chauffeured car take her to work. Her office is just around the corner from her office. When Ms Pelosi was speaker of the house she got to use a large jet. I know she is from California and needs some leeway, but, should she have such a plane available for her personal use. Taxpayers pick up the tab, they should have a voice in how to spend the money.
It must be a given that the media either does not uncover these abuses or they choose to omit these stories from news coverage. Either way the taxpayer loses.
These are some of the ways we can save money, I know it, let's hope the panel selected to suggest changes recognizes the situation.
Please pray for our service people.
GOD Bless
