35. what pisses me off is they are wasting our treasury without being audited

not only are they violating our constitution, they are considered part of government that is allowed a huge slush fund with no accountability...


The Government Accountability Office said Thursday that it could not complete an audit of the federal government, pointing to serious problems with the Department of Defense.

Along with the Pentagon, the GAO cited the Department of Homeland Security as having problems so significant that it was impossible for investigators to audit it. The DHS got a qualified audit for fiscal year 2012, and is seeking an unqualified audit for 2013.


meanwhile they blame seniors and people on welfare for the debt.
