Wide Spread Government Credit Card Abuse Forces Federal Law Change
The widespread government credit card abuse has forced the federal laws to change to protect the American taxpayers money as government workers would violate the trust of the American people and spend money, which is supposed to be used for official government business.
The Government Credit Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2006' has so far it not been able to cure the fine folks in government from cheating us and stealing taxpayers money. When a government worker it uses a government credit card for expenditures of personal use they are stealing and yet we are not putting these people in jail but rather reprimanding them and in many cases not even taking away their government credit cards. Does this mean the American taxpayer is forced to endure widespread government credit card abuse?
I find it ironic that we already know that stealing is against the law no matter who you are and we are told that no one is above the law. But apparently those people who work in government do not believe they are to follow the law in Washington, DC and this is the exact attitude that is causing problems. We need to start putting people in jail for stealing in our government.
There are so many cases including law enforcement, the Justice Department and many agencies, which are supposed to help the American people doing this. And it yet we still do not have this problem solved. Why do we need another law or federal legislation to prevent government workers from stealing? Why can we trust our own government and why should we listen to them when they are ripping us off blind?
I wish someone would answer my question because I believe trust in your government is a very important thing for the ongoing vitality of our nation. Perhaps I am just na?ve and belief in a dream and bought the story of a noble government; hook, line and sinker? Let us remove the crime and the rotten core of dishonesty, misrepresentation and fraud from Our government. Please consider this in 2006.
