He should ask Spitzer how this is arranged, he should know!!!
What a chickensh*t question — would it make any fifference if they had paid the prostitutes with their own funds?
Of course it was used. Per deim is a set daily amount to pay expenses while traveling. How you spend it is your choice and usuall receipts are not required. You can buy meals or hookers, it is your choice.
No. It was their per noctem.
They converted “per diem” to “per shtup”. :D
If an agent has receipts for spending on meals for that day which is equal to or more than the per diem, this particular matter would be resolved.
If an agent does not have such receipts, they’d be open to the accusation that their per diem was used on that day towards paying the prostitute. Since money is fungible, IMHO, it would be extremely difficult to avoid such a charge without receipts proving that the per diem was spent on valid items.
IMHO.
Things have not been the same with the Secret Service since Clinton was President. Clinton: “Well when you are away you don’t have access to your own food, so we reimburse you for restaurants, you don’t have access to your own home, so were imburse you for hotels, you don’t have access to your wives, so.....”
Once the PD is paid, it becomes their personal funds. Sheesh!
We’ve got much bigger fish to fry than this silly crap. Granted the SS has brought shame and dishonor on their agency. However, the longer we yammer about this BS, the longer the progressives have to continue their destruction of the country.
Let’s put this crap in its proper place in the grand scheme of things, and get back to the business of saving the nation.
This whole thing is starting to smell manufactured.
Per diem for that city in Colombia can be more than $400.00 / day That's tax free and is in addition to salary and other benefits.. and of course it is seven days a week working in country or not.
BTW, for the GSA boys and girls the per diem for Las Vegas I believe is a little over $100 / day. Seems small to me but could be.
There are (were) other expenses covered beyond what per diem such as transportation to/from the airport and taxis in country. Those you had to justify.
.. and you can collect per diem in advance..
unless they changed things since the Nixon Administration.
Gov travel, per diem and allowable expenses are not paid until the expense report has been filed.....after the trip.
Makes sense. $47 sounds like a per diem amount that only bureaucrats could come up with.
A bucj h of prostitutes are already on the US payroll, although they may not refer to themselves that way
Neither is related to Ngo Dinh Diem.
King is a grandstanding idiot, with a laser-like focus on irrelevant details.
IMHO, I think Mr. King is overstepping his bounds since that money is considered personal money.
When I worked for a DoD company, we got a per-diem. Hotel was separate expense. So what we usually did was stay at a hotel with a free breakfast and then eat cheaply or even better, do a very late, late lunch. At the end of the trip, it was some nice extra money to pocket and was tax free.
On one trip, we had some executive types with us and they tried to force us to do a common check for the meals and indirectly expected us non-exec types to foot the bill for their fancy meal. They weren’t happy when a few of us folks pushed back.
I worked for a different company in the early 1990’s in Indianapolis and for quite a few months, I had to to frequent trips to and from Chicago and I drove a beat up truck and took it on the trips. The executive VP of finance caught wind what a few of us were spending our mileage checks on and she pretty well required us to fly afterward. Even a trip to Cincinnati, we had to fly. IN that company we were not given a per-diem. One guy used the money to fix up his vehicle.
Yo Pete, it’s $20.00. Just like downtown.
