How can a State Department employee expense $360 worth of lingerie for jungle training in Ecuador?

Why do we tolerate wasteful and abusive spending of our tax dollars?



Read on -



Among some of the examples reported by the GAO was an Agricultural Department employee who paid $642,000 to a live-in boyfriend. That money was apparently used for gambling and car and mortgage payments, among other things.



At the U.S. Postal Service workers expensed $14,000 on Internet dating and a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse dinner for 81 people.



The Pentagon tab has $77,000 for clothing, accessories and sporting goods. Among the charges were $45,000 at Brooks Brothers and other high-end stores that make custom suits.



And a State Department employee spent $360 on lingerie at Seduccion Boutique supposedly to be used for jungle training in Ecuador.

Not to Defend the government, but For Jungle training allot of men wear Nylons and body suits (Lingerie) to protect from Diseased insects, also allot of Justice department employees work undercover, and Brooks Brothers suits can be Tailored to be able to carry a concealed weapon with out showing a Bulge. Most "off the shelf" suits do not contain enough fabric to Tailor in this way.
