I know they all do it, but it does add up. It's too bad that our government has become a parasite feeding off our meager incomes. The ruling class syndrome is prevalent in government, it seems that 99.9% of the ruling class ruin it for the rest.
Quote:
Taxpayers shell out an average of an extra $20,000 a week to allow Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to return to his California walnut farm on weekends. Amid outrage over excessive spending, the trips may have become an unaffordable luxury for Panetta.
I haven't found the source, but heard today that it took some 30 months plus a lawsuit to get release of the data on Panetta's folly. This from the most transparent ever administration.
