Your so right...............but people will take them to Circuit City and buy a Sony TV. Yee haw............I guess we are lucky though that our government doesn't have to live within a budget. Hey a new oxymoron, governmental budget.

Yeah, you are right. I was working credit card fraud with a government agency and we were concentrating on the Chase cards that were handed out.

Over 70% of the purchases were for non-essential items. Mostly cigs and booze and, oh yeah, trips to casinos
