Police motorcades, body guards and a troop of Black SUVs with your boot lickers riding around in them.

Most public officials abuse this every day and it's expensive.

I know for a fact having seen the printouts, GE was paid BILLIONS of dollars annually in bogus loan servicing fees for government held mortgages.

Average of 3 months per account in fees collected for paid off mortgages @ $35/month. Thing is, GE was THE largest mortgage servicer for the government. Talking at least 1.5 million loans @$35/month.....for loans that were paidoff, no service required!!!

GE would intentionally put payoffs in "suspense account" sub-accounts within loans and hold the accounts open in addition to the 3 additional months after posting the payoffs.


Not just waste, Fraud!

False. For example, one must maintain records of even closed accounts for seven years. That costs money.

You're talking about "Crazy Money". Pretty sure that's what educators call it. Have heard there are coaches to teach your kids how to act.
Given to the parents for the kids and the folks pocket it.

The U S Post Office - the way it is still being run after fax machines, e mail and online bill paying that has reduced mail volume is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. The resulting costs to the U S tax payer is off the charts stupid.

Govt waste is the right answer.

But welfare for life, disability for those who aren't disabled, and benefits to illegals are at the top of my list.

I've read that cutting Saturday service would save $1 billion alone.
