GSA? Who Knew?

[Jroc]

I never really heard of this agency before this scandal..Just another agency overseeing other agencies, more bureaucrats overseeing other bureaucrats. Liberals want more of this? More billions wasted, more big government, more money stolen from tax payers to fund the liberal bureaucracy… Craziness

From 2 years ago? We need to streamline government, get rid of this agency entirely

President Obama's $675 Million for GSA Budget Promotes Cost Savings through Innovative Sustainability and Efficiency Initiatives

Agency's programs will create a more open, collaborative, and participatory government

February 1, 2010

WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration hails key investments in advancing taxpayer savings through sustainability and government efficiency in President Obama’s $675 million budget for the agency.

“The President’s budget for GSA will build on a historic year for the agency in increased sustainability to make federal buildings more efficient, cost effective, and save taxpayer dollars,” said GSA Acting Administrator Stephen R. Leeds. “Through investments that will enhance governmentwide information systems, the President’s budget will allow GSA to fund innovative IT solutions to further reduce costs by opening up the government to citizens, creating collaboration across government, and funding information technology solutions that increase speed and efficiency in government operations

White House knew about this shit 11 months ago. Criminal prosecutions pending.

Its just the taxpayers money, no big deal. Plenty more where that came from.

[francoHFW]

The price tag on this party went from 93k to 630k UNDER BOOOOSH, and is his legacy, dupes. The new transparency under which this came out and will be fixed is Obama's legacy. Pub dupes!! Brainwashed morons EVERY TIME...

 

[eflatminor]

The central planners will fix this so it never happens again...I'm sure.

All is well, all is well.

 

[francoHFW]

And then the deregulating, cronyism, and lobbying fool Pubs will screw it up again...

No cronyism and lobbying on the Democrat side, eh? My, my...

Central planners, they all suck, left and right.

 

[tinydancer]

It's being reported that Neely and others could be facing criminal charges.

 

[Katzndogz]

The GSA asked for another 80 million to meet operating expenses.

I love seeing the democrats squirm under this and blame Bush. When are they going to blame Bush for the secret service scandal.

This is a culture of corruption at the highest levels.

If there is one thing in politics that you can count on to be bipartisan it's corruption.

 

[Katzndogz]

It's being reported that Neely and others could be facing criminal charges.

Did you see Neely testify and take the 5th? He was just digusting. And that woman, the head of the whole thing who will regret losing her job for the rest of her life. That's democrats for you. The theft that she did don't bother her. Her regret is only losing her job.

This ENTIRE mess needs to be cleaned out of Capitol Hill and then FUMIGATE the place.

What is hysterical is that Neely's wife had actually put up pictures of him in a hot tub sipping wine on Face Book.

Corruption does happen both sides of the aisles as we know, but what is really appalling about this case is that the individuals involved were actually mocking the system and quite proud of ripping off the taxpayers.

Audacity beyond.

 

[francoHFW]

Much more from the Pubs, duh. Bought and paid for by big money, for deregulation, cronyism, pollution, Wall St, Big Oil, Big Health, Big Pharma. Do you need a diagram, having been through the biggest housing/finance bubble EVER? Unions and Conservation have 1/30 to 1/50 their money...BEFORE citizens United duh.

Agreed.

Washington has been in dire need of an enema for far too long.

It's a little more blatant when the liberals are in power, because so much of the liberal media doesn't care. I don't excuse any corruption, Democrat or Republican. This is the reason to shrink the size of government in general, not double down on it with more government which is what he liberals want to do. Fix failed government with more government

 

[Jroc]

The White house may have known of this for almost a year?

Who's on first? Hearing shows GSA's dysfunction

In later tough questioning of that official, GSA Chief of Staff Mike Robertson, Issa determined that a lawyer in the White House counsel's office knew of the ongoing investigation of the GSA in the middle of 2011, nine months before the earliest time acknowledged by the administration.

However, Robertson later issued a statement to clarify his testimony to the committee, saying: "I only mentioned in passing the existence of an (inspector general) investigation as I bumped into a White House staffer that I regularly worked with on GSA issues. This was in late May or June of 2011."

On Tuesday, Johnson said she received no orders from the White House on how to respond to the controversy, and Miller said he had no contact with the White House on the issue.

Johnson also repeated her opening statement from Monday, in which she said she found a badly managed GSA when she took over in 2010 after more than two years of interim leadership.

Agree 100%.

However, it ain't just GSA in my opinion. Just a while ago now few people were even aware of GSA. But it's just one of dozens or hundreds of agencies, departments, etc. hidden away in the bloated overall federal budget with its own budget for annual spending that virtually no one oversees for the kind of stuff that's been going on with GSA waste.

There's likely billions of taxpayers dollars similarly pissed away year after year.
