That's fourteen thousand! Billions of dollars could have been saved; several involve ignored national security issues.

Bet that doesn't count the billions as bribes etc "lost" in Iraq.

Another gesture of arrogance... just short of flipping the bird to the American taxpayer.

In addition to simply improving health, safety, and security conditions, the committee claims that implementing some of these fixes could save taxpayers an estimated $25.9 billion. It's a big number, but more interesting to me were some of the IG recommendations that have languished. Along with examples of run-of-the-mill government waste—e.g., "FEMA could 
recover $16 million in excessive billings and questionable costs resulting from poor 
management of a contract"—there are a few doozies. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2009/01/11609_oversight_committee_blasts_bush_administration_on_ignoring_ig_recommendations.html"><P>Read the rest of the report [PDF] <A href="http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20090106082149.pdf">here</A>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BC95839A-ED5E-4A0F-87C7-EFDDE4D84D4B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
