Your tax dollars at work

$16 muffins, $8 coffee served in Justice audit

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As the U.S. government grapples to find ways to trim the bloated federal deficit, a new report suggests officials might start with cutting out $16 muffins and $10 cookies.

"We found the Department (of Justice) spent $16 on each of the 250 muffins served at an August 2009 legal conference in Washington," said a DOJ Office of Inspector General report released on Tuesday.

I can get a muffin from the coffee shop, that tastes fantastic for about a dollar, imagine how fucking good a 16$ muffin must taste.

Especially knowing some other poor dumb bastard paid for it.

 

It ALWAYS tastes better when some other poor dumb bastard pays for it.

 

Yep, in this case though it's WE who are the poor dumb bastards.

 

Did theirs have MJ in them?

 

If the muffins were infact made with weed, it would atleast go a long ways in explaining the erratic, and idiotic behaviour down at the DOJ.
