A solar powered picnic table? What did it do? Provide laptop charging? Grill eggs?

Politicians spend like it’s someone else’s money.

The ‘spend it or lose it” rule of government spending should be ended immediately.

If they save money from their last budget they should give a 10% reward to the employees.

I bet we balance the budge in just a couple of years.

Also, any government fraud or waste reported- 10% reward to the person who reports it. Maybe amnesty to anyone who self-reports for the first year, mandatory minimum 20 years jail for anyone else.

Our corrupt government is awash in money. They need to cut middle class taxes by 25% and make do.

What in the world is a solar powered picnic table?

[quantim]

Well that’s $3,000,000,000 that Ukraine won’t get. On the serious side at the end of the decade we’ll have about $45,000,000,000,000 in federal debt at the present rate, it’s about then that this country as we know it will collapse.

3.3 BILLION!

Bet those solar powered picnic tables don’t last but about 30 days, and they’ll probably try installing them in Portland Oregon where it rains 300 days out of the year or an Anchorage Alaska where there’s no sunlight for a good portion of the year.

Solar Powered Picnic Table, reminds me of the guy back in the 1970s who was selling a Solar Powered Clothes Dryer, people sent him $10 and he sent them a roll of clothesline and some clothes pins.

"Federal officials blasted for spending $3.3 BILLION on office furniture while employees worked from HOME."

DAMN..! Just how much interest are the banks paying in Ukraine.!! Sounds like the lawyers of DC are making out like fat rats.!!

[Alberta's Child]

Behind every dollar the U.S. government spends, there’s an industry that lobbies hard to get it … and employees who vote for politicians who spend that dollar because some of the money ends up in the pockets of those employees.

My tagline applies to this situation perfectly.

See, there are no opportunities to cut federal spending. These are necessary expenses. Federal employees cannot have substandard working conditions. After all, they do so much to America. We need an omnibus spending bill and just be done with all this divisive infighting in Congress.

[thinden]

nothing but the best.

remember the old gummit budget dilemma:

if we don’t spend everything in the budget before the end of the year, we won’t get as much in next year’s budget.

[Vaduz]

Egregious spending when nobody is looking yep it’s the gubment.

[Amish with an attitude]

Not a problem; just print more money and let future generations pay the bill.
