Lobster, booze, and toys...
That sounds like the shopping list for an office party.
It does sort of explain the shift of young people towards Socialism. They figure “Hell, if government can afford THIS kind of extravagance, they can pay for my (health care/college education/child care/paid time off/fill in your favorite freebie here).
The solution is obvious.
Tally up the costs of frivolous items, double it, and give them that much less next year.
That's how corporate budgets work too.......Spend it all and ask for more or you'll be underfunded next year.
I was always told money does not grow on trees. That is clearly not true in the case of the federal gov.

Waiting for The potus to ask us to intervene.
But we “can’t afford” a fecking wall.
Too bad the money couldn’t go to build the wall/fence instead.
There should be incentives for departments that go through a year UNDER budget instead of the traditional “Spend everything in the budget so we can still be allocated the same or more money for the next year”.
Otherwise govt blows through other peoples money like grass through a goose.
Standing desks and golf carts are unto themselves nuetral to me. You buy your furniture at the end of the year when funds become available (Money not assigned for other tasks)and a lot of people swear by standing desks and golf carts are used a lot to move people and gear short distances and in confined spaces, e.g. very large warehouses (250,000 sqft). It usually isn’t the item that causes concern, rather the occasion. For instance, golf carts are used a lot on runways, where security is high and you don’t want to take them out of the compound for refueling. On the other hand, a golf cart so someone can drive one building over is a total waste.
The headline break on my phone had the Feds paying for lobster, tail, and booze... ;)
Those responsible for this deception should be fired and all personal assets confiscated.
The Dems want to raise your taxes so they can have bigger parties.
