CNN reported this morning that GSA employees spent 5 days in Hawaii, but they only worked 1 hour during those 5 days. Why do they have to travel for meetings? Why can't they skype? Why is the GSA giving its employees gifts? That is the taxpayers' money they are giving away.

Maybe we all agree on something: abolish the General Services Administration. Whatever that is. Dump it. Clearly, that agency didn't give a rip about the American taxpayer. Sacrifice it on the alter of fiscal responsibility. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

GSA does a lot of things, like provides vehicles and office supplys and what not. The thing is, when you work for the FED or in the military...you HAVE to go through them...thats why it costs you 15 bucks for a roll of tape you could get al walmart for 1.89
