GAO Report on Government Credit Card Abuse:

we the people need to take a serious look around, stop listening to the pundit-of-the-minute or the latest rabid talking head and TAKE AMERICA BACK!
I don't know what has to happen in this country for people to wake the hell up and realize that these people, our elected officials, don't necessarily have our best interests at heart. /to the contrary. what i see is a bunch of self serving elitists that think we are a part and parcel l of their personal fiefdom.

TAKE AMERICA BACK, THROW THE BUMS OUT!
