Reported by a CBS affiliate television station in Washington D.C., the federal government apparently cannot account for a whopping $30 million in taxpayer-paid bonuses in fiscal year 2011, proving once again that our federal government is neither prepared nor responsible enough to manage virtually any amount of money.
According to the CBS affiliate, the General Services Administration reported only 1/3rd of its actual bonus payouts and did not respond to interview requests. They did issue a statement that indicated the GSA will look into the matter and how the agency manages compensation – but who actually believes that?
