Credit Card Abuse

Congressional auditors say they're finding
millions of dollars in questionable charges -- like lingerie --
posted to government credit cards. Federal workers have also posted
charges for Internet dating, tailor-made suits, and lavish dinners
costing more than $150 dollars per head.
The report from the Government Accountability Office comes after
claims of credit-card abuse surfaced within the Departments of
Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs.
One member of an investigations subcommittee which requested the
report says too many government workers are using their purchase
cards like personal lines of credit. And Senator Norm Coleman says
when government funds are going for iPods, lingerie and
socializing, the problem needs to be remedied immediately.
