BULL! Go find a corporate boot to lick.
If it's $$$ wasted on a government employee it's $$$ wasted on a private employee, $$$ that's deducted as a legitimate business expense even though you've already tagged it waste.
BTW, nothing to comeback from. I'm not happy seeing the government buying $44 breakfasts but why are you OK with corporations being able to deduct that very same waste when tax time rolls around?
How do you know I'm happy with it? Another liberal assumption. Everyone is not exactly the same, you know.

No, I have a problem with the hypocrites who will tell me $$$ spent on a government employee is waste while the same $$$ spent for the same purpose on a private employee is a 'legitimate' business expense.
You know, like the same hypocrites who tell us government is the problem yet fight to sit at its head and grow it all the same?
1st, I object to any wasteful government spending on any and all levels.
There is another way the population is being scammed by the use of tax deductions. The society pages of most daily newspapers are always full of some charity do where the town rich entertain themselves every weekend at some country club dinner dance event. They donate to the charity, the charity is exempt. They charity puts on a do honoring somebody. It is all deductible.
The new one on me is the triathlon in every resort town, USA. The participant donates a thousand to a charity and the charity sponsors the participant. Nice gig if you can get one. Go to resorts all over the country doing your hobby "sport" every weekend while gaming the system. We are all paying for that, too.
Same deal as an idiot government employee setting up a cheerleading conference.

It depends what the government employee is doing to whether or not it's a waste. It definitely is not profitable since 100% of the funds come through a transfer of dollars - unlike a private business.

"The report also found costs that exceeded the original projections and officials who skirted federal rules that set aside some contracts for small businesses. The internal review found questionable actions, such as the event planner asking the hotel that an agency employee who arrived a day early get "a friend of a friend of the owner rate (wink)."
Exceeded original projections. LOL. Every government employee should resign. It's sickening. Of course they all praise the great orator for accepting her resignation. He is cleaning up shop. LOL. Only democrats could give themselves credit for this type of nonsense.
I heard this on the news today, I thought they had stopped all of this nonsense in government but here we go again. The GSA administrator resigned, the mind reader she hired didn't come up with much. This is not the unions in this case blame the administrator, doing this type of thing in this economy and this atmosphere you have to be crazy.
$75K to assemble 24 bicycles comes to over $3000 per bike, maybe they should have just bought them assembled?
"The conference also spent $75,000 for a training exercise to assemble 24 bicycles that were later donated at the agency's direction to the Boys' and Girls' Club.
Taxpayers also footed the bill for a $3,200 session with a mind reader, $5,600 for in-room parties, $3,700 for T-shirts and nearly $2,800 in water bottles."
