It is kind of sad, but my man boobs could use some augmenting.
Of course the serious side of this is this:
[Q]In fiscal year 2001, federal card holders made 24 million purchases valued at $13.7 billion, according to the General Services Administration, which also estimated that the program would save approximately $1.3 billion a year.
But the purchase card program has fallen vulnerable to abuse, and not just at the Pentagon.
Last March, the General Accounting Office, which is investigating purchase card programs at several agencies, reported that the Department of Housing and Urban Development could not legitimize more than $1.3 million in approved purchases, including more than $74,000 at computer and electronic stores and $27,000 at department stores such as Macy's and Sears.
Last year, the GAO issued similar criticisms of the Army, Navy and Air Force for alleged purchase card abuse. The White House Office of Management and Budget also ordered agencies last year to investigate purchase card abuse.
The Pentagon, which accounted for 11 million purchases in fiscal year 2002 valued at $6.8 billion, has undertaken its own oversight program. On June 27, the Pentagon's inspector general said that out of 1,357 Pentagon purchase card holders chosen for audit, 182 card holders potentially used their cards inappropriately in about $5 million worth of transactions.[/Q]
