It's Only Money Right?

  I am continually amazed at the way President Obama, permits the government to so carelessly spend  the  hard working American,  taxpayers money. I am often left with the impression that he permits this foolishness because he couldn't care less! The President,  brings new meaning to an old Beatles song, The Fool On The Hill. Today, I heard on the news that an another solar company,  followed in the foot steps of Solyndra, and declared bankruptcy. This company had been offered a 2.1 billion dollar  guaranteed loan by the government the good news for American taxpayers is the company executives realized they could not compete with China, and decided not to take the money offered by the government. Score one for the American taxpayer!
  The government,  is very creative at coming up with ways to waste American taxpayer money and it seems there is always someone in the government,  more than willing to waste it. General Services Administrator, Martha Johnson,  is the latest government official to resign because she was found guilty of mismanaging government money, for some reason I wasn't that surprised! Apparently, a training conference was held in Henderson Nevada, I think what they must have been training to do was to spend the American taxpayer's money because that's exactly what they did.The total cost for the conference was 822,751.00 dollars. The training conference was attended by 300 people.The so called team building  contractor was provided 75000.00 for just one day of this very necessary training vital to something I'm sure, and  the GSA awarded 58000.00 dollar contract to a large business in violation of small business set- asides. Ah,  yes, nothing warms the cockles of my heart like seeing hard working American,  taxpayer's money at work why there was even money allotted for tuxedo rentals and other expensive clothing for GSA employees. There stated goal was to have a training conference bigger and better training conference better than ant other training conference that may have preceded this one. Well, I'm sure with 822,751.000 dollars of the American taxpayer's money everyone had a good time. I'll bet they can't wait fir the next one! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
