This is what happens when "it's not your money". It is of course but nobody seems to care when the money doesn't come directly out of their pockets.

This is why the sequester doesn't concern some of us. There is this sort of stuff in nearly every government program and one can hope that maybe someone will decide that they don't actually want to forgo a pay increase so maybe they had better take a closer look at the programs they are responsible for.

In the end though The Scooter Store will likely pay a small fine and continue doing the same thing with a different name or claim they have fired the small few who were not on the up and up.

If those over these programs don't want to watch the store we might as well not pay them.
