"This is not taxpayer money. What we spend is what we make."

That's enough to make a fellow "Go Postal..."

Watering the Tree of Liberty is coming sooner than later I’m afraid....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Glad to see they like their beef...

“I wonder what Sean Hannity thinks of this?! LOL!”

Sean thinks they are great Americans.

[Revelation 911]

yup.....whats your flavor, .223 or 7.62x39 ?

[Joe 6-pack]

At least they didn’t order the Lobster-gram.

[arderkrag]

Ladies and Gents, the most disorganized and inefficient government agency we have, here for your perusal.

[Leo Carpathian]

Why the heck they have “Government Credit cards”????
To buy stamps?????????
FReeekyyyy

[RobRoy]

If it were not for junk mail, they wouldn’t have much to do.

But I am stating the obvious.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

A $13,500 tab? They were ripped.

Ruth's Chris Steak House sucks.

[TexasGunLover]

$167 per person isn’t that bad.

Their bone-in ribeye cooked black and blue and with the blue cheese crust is impeccable...SSZ

[<1/1,000,000th%]

How does the Post Office get government credit cards?

I thought they were spun-off as a private entity?

[muir_redwoods]

Ruth’s Chris? In Orlando they should have gone to Charlie’s, IMHO

[marlon]

Hey wait until Hillary or Obama’s department of socialized medicine plutocrats start using their Gobment credit cards to have their “medical meetings” The postal workers will look like pikers in comparison, guranteed.

[Mr. Lucky]

He forgets to mention that it’s a felony to compete with the Post Office in the delivery of 1st class mail. I wonder how much I could make raising cattle if the federal government would only outlaw all competition.

When the U.S. Postal Service rang up a $13,500 tab at an Orlando steakhouse, it spared no expense during a five-hour meal. The order -- charged to government credit cards -- included more than $3,000 for drinks, more than $500 for shrimp cocktails and almost $900 for mini crab cakes

We're being screwed by this government.

Why the heck they have “Government Credit cards”

So the peasant tax payers can foot the bill for their lavish meals, high end salaries, their top shelf medical benefits and their killer retirement pensions.

All at the stupid tax payers expense.

Nothing compared to III Forks, Rick Stein's, and Al Biernat's. I've found Ruth Chris to be not more than an acceptable steakhouse compared to many here in Dallas.

I’ve still got 10 tins of Czechoslovakian stuff from the 60’s, corrosive as hell, but lasts forever.
