Wow...that just seems really bad. I wouldn't blame the "government" solely though, take into consideration the billions and billions of dollars that are spent by "the government" and the accounting nightmare it must be to keep up with all that! When you put things into perspective - thinking of the sheer volume of travel that 'government' employees must make each year, then $100M doesn't seem that large in perspective. And afterall - most of the examples relate to an INDIVIDUAL that seems to have been intentionally defrauding the government. Don't confuse an individual's personal lack of morals with a corrupt government...
