I’m government and I know the going per diem rates. You get enough to tip the waiter appropriately and still make out like a bandit. You’re pocketing the money you withhold from the waiter, yet you lecture us from a perspective of conservative principle?
Please pardon me while I laugh in your face.
LOL! I don’t know how your per diem is calculated, but unless you eat pretzels and drink tap water three times a day, there is nothing to pocket. And how would u know this unless you have tried it yourself? I suspect this is more your scenario than mine.
