I just had my taxes done and discovered that, despite a modest yearly income and several deductions, my husband and I STILL owe taxes this year.
Ever wonder how the Feds are spending some of the money they pick out of our pockets every year?
You'd be surprised...or maybe not!
A recent report revealed that several government employees have been living high off the hog, all at our expense. According to the revelation, fed workers have been charging up stuff like crazy, for such purchases as expensive meals, electronics, internet dating services, booze, gambling, partying and lingerie.
These folks have basically been living the kind of lives a lot of Americans can't now, due to the current economy.
The high-living workers in question charged these extravagant goodies via government credit cards, which I'm certain they expected us tax payers to keep paying off with our hard-earned dollars
Obviously, these activities were fraudulent and would have continued going on for years to come, had an employee not spilled the beans. It bought on an audit.by the Government Accountability Office.
The startling results were recently disclosed by "outraged" senators.
Ironic, since some members of Congress have been guilty themselves of misusing federal funds
