the auditors evaluated 18 transactions totaling $48,345 and found that none of them complied with any of the internal controls

Extrapolate this result to every other transaction at every agency covering gazillions of dollars. The only way to "fix" it is to eliminate departments, zero-out budgets, fire or pension off employees.

The US taxpayers could save billions by shutting down the EPA. Use the money to build the Trump Wall and save even more billions by not feeding, housing, educating and incarcerating illegal aliens. We are not tired of winning, Mr. President!

Every government credit card should be immediately cancelled and only reissued after an audit of each card holder.

When I worked as a sales rep for a major US corporation, we had to submit an expense report to get reimbursed for weekly costs in the field. Tight scrutiny prevented any cheating.

I suspect Trump has such an approach in his biz.

the auditors evaluated 18 transactions totaling $48,345...

The auditors found that 2 of the 18 transactions, totaling $14,985, were for fitness memberships.

2 fitness memberships cost around $7,500 each?

My question: is it a government card issued to a civil servant, or is it to the an organization? The bureaucracy in management still has to approve. That makes a big differences as well. I dont know if EPA’s credit cards work the same as my organization. But the government doesn’t pay the card’s balance due. The bill is sent to my name and home address, and my credit is impacted if I do not pay the balance. I am reimbursed directly from the government for “approved expenses” that I claim. I must pay all expenses on my card whether they have been refunded by the government or not (and the government is not always timely). I cannot use my personal credit card on official business, and I do not know who collects the kickbacks from the government credit card companies. Rumor is that it goes to some house member’s favored constituent(s).

These people NEVER pay it back. It’s a scam and also how they spend all their budget money, millions in each agency and not even a slap on the wrist. Criminals.

Seems like a good way to get rid of libs in agencies. Their grand sense of righteousness and entitlement would lead them to thinking that they could get away with this (especially during the Obama years).

Give expense accounts a fine-tooth-comb audit, and give violators the option of resigning or being prosecuted.

YADA YADA YADA!! Nothing ever happens in cases like this. IG’s are like the commercials on TV - “”we only monitor”” - we don’t actually do ANYTHING worthwhile except dig up stuff that will enrage anyone in their right mind!!!!

Environmental Protection Agency employees used their government purchase cards to spend $14,985 on fitness memberships...

Those employees need to be arrested and held for trial. That's OUR money they are stealing.

Trump's people (DOJ, etc.) need to be all over this.

Stripping federal employees of the right to join a union is first step. SEcond is a complete rework of civil service laws to make employees more accountable.
