and it is bad enough the job he is doing with the EPA is horrific but OMG.
This dude with the $1,500.00 tactical pants and the $3,000 pens? Where is the outrage on the right...Oh, my bad. There was no outrage over the 14million dollar refrigerator I guess this is pretty tame by comparison.
This is an example of Follow the Leader, Do what Trumputin does, lead by example. "Im fattening my stomach so you can do the same." Shameful, disgusting.
I agree that government waste is horrible and the people involved must be held accountable.
From the Washington Post:
A 2013 audit revealed that the IRS spent $4.1 million to fly managers in its small-business and self-employed division to California in August 2010 with the approval of top agency officials. Inspector General J. Russell George said in a statement that the expense — one of 225 conferences the tax agency held in fiscal 2010 through 2012 at a cost of $49 million— “do not appear to be a good use of taxpayer funds” at a time when government is putting a premium on efficiency and managing costs.
“In hindsight, many of the expenses that were incurred should have been more closely scrutinized or not have been incurred at all,” Faris Fink, commissioner of the tax-collection agency’s small business and self-employed division, told a congressional committee.
Fink, a top deputy in the department that flew 2,600 managers to Anaheim, Calif., for three days in 2010, described a culture that did not blink at what the Treasury Department’s inspector general called excessive spending. But the 32-year employee —
who was promoted the following year — said the IRS is “now in a very different environment.” “We would not hold this same type of meeting today,” Fink told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Please remind me who was fired at the IRS when this was uncovered?
