Wasting My Money. Again.
The federal government has sent nearly 600 auditors and investigators to the Gulf Coast region to monitor $8.3 billion in contracts awarded to help victims of last year’s hurricanes, according to year-end figures released by the Department of Homeland Security.
The task force of federal inspectors general had opened 330 investigations by Dec. 30 and was reviewing contracts covering 45 percent of the spending, said a summary posted this week on the department’s Web site.
Some of that money was mine. I know I used to have it because I earned it by working hard at a job I don’t particularly like a lot of the time. I don’t get to spend it, though. Heck, I don’t even get to see it. It just gets frittered away and most of the time I don’t even get to see where it goes.
Then I see stories like this.
Someone come around here and tell me why Big Government is good again. Please?
