Are You Being Served?

We the people of these United States have suffered through much over the past years. Everything from high ranking officials that not only ignore our wishes, but even go so far as to lie to us, steal from us, and are allowed to slip through the fingers of our legal system. It’s one thing for us to be fooled into electing them. It’s quite another to have to sit back and fail to serve the laws of the people.

This evenings news exposed that there are literally millions of tax payer dollars being spent by civil servants to splurge on personal expenses that include dinners, liquor, toys, evening wear, and in one case one person funneled over $600,000 to her boyfriend … all through the government credit card program. Worst of all, it had to found through audits of the OMB.

Where are our watchdogs? Who is failing to review these expenses BEFORE they get out of their particular offices? Where is the GAO and why hasn’t the FB I conducted a series of raids to arrest these thieves? And now to add insult to injury, we are being told the users have disappeared and can’t be found! When I had a government credit card my personal name was on it and every transaction. A detailed report was presented to our boss each month and if there was even a question about an expense, we were grilled until explanations were satisfactory.

Folks, we pay these clowns for their services. Civil Servants, congress-people, judges, federal agents, and a lot more. Is it too much for us to ask them to do their jobs, do them honestly, and represent our wishes? Is it too much to ask our elected officials to give us access to all the non-classified documents that are our property? Is it too much to expect all large expenses to be made part of the public record, debated in open session and properly attributed to those that benefit from them?

I propose that anytime any public official breaks the law, steals, or misrepresents themselves, the full and complete details be published by the office of the Inspector General of the United States on a web site that anyone with a computer can see. Make it easily searched by name, position, state, and under what congressional representation the acts were performed. Only when we put these people in the public spotlight will there be justice and we will have the opportunity to hold those accountable to their sworn oath of office and their duty to we, the citizens & taxpayers.
