Some are big crooks, and some are small crooks. But the Washington insiders are all crooks.
This is why the Founders gave us limited government. Government should be small, and weak and starved for cash. That way it doesn't become tyranny, and that way the people with larcenous intentions will go elsewhere to practice their trade.
A timeline released by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Tuesday shows that GSA executive Jeffrey Neely took five trips totaling 44 days, including a 17-day trip to Hawaii, Guam and Saipan that he and his wife planned as a birthday celebration.
All came after a May 2011 briefing by Inspector General Brian Miller on his preliminary findings. While Miller was still 11 months away from publicly releasing his final report on GSA spending, he issued the early warning to stop the travel. But it did no good.

Whoever thought that sharing one’s income with the central government was a good idea should be dug up and subjected to public hanging. Were people so incredibly ignorant that they couldn’t see how the bloated, greedy parasites in government would never be satisfied with the promised limit of 3% on income tax?
Governments lie and steal from the people until the people wise up. Anyone who tried to plow their way through the hundreds of tax forms at irs.gov knows we need to start over with something that makes sense. This is just wrong.
Read Ayn Rand much?
