Homeland Security Spending Spree

quote[Many of them went on spending sprees with taxpayer dollars, charging $435 million with the credit cards in 2005, compared to $296 million the previous year. They purchased things like dog booties for $68,442, three portable shower units for $71,170 from a contractor who admitted overcharging the government, music equipment for $7,000 and a beer-brewing kit for $1,000 for the coast guard to brew alcohol for social events. One agency bought 37 designer rain jackets for $2,500 and another spent $2,395 for rooms at a lavish resort.

Additionally, one of the department's agencies lost 107 laptops and 22 printers worth $170,000 and more than half of the 20 boats purchased for $208,000 for post hurricane operations.]
