How many people pinching their wieners over doge understand CONGRESS is responsible for approving spending and who is accountable for it? Those numbers are what would not be good right now.

I hope they didn’t fire the doc. But all these cuts to the VA should improve their response times. Playing phone tag with schedulers will be fun. The only thing that he may do is open up community care referrals. My VA cut back on them a lot in the last four years.

March 5, 2025Mar 5 If anyone actually agrees with any particular party all the time, they are in a cult, not a political party. Funny how MAGAtards never bring up the LP in regards to immigration and the border.

After all, it's not like there's a long and well documented history of him lying at every turn or anything. He clearly has no idea how GPC works. It is used for convenience of purchasing and also tends to save money. Another key point he neglects to understand is that each GPC card is connected to a preloaded line of accounting making them the equivalent of a prepaid credit card. Travel cards are somewhat different in how it is paid in that each trip is connected to a funded line of accounting which is verified to have sufficient funds to cover the cost of the trip which is booked through government approved travel agencies with defined limits on airfare, accommodations, and meals based on date of travel and location.

We had to have receipts that matched what was on the credit card statement . Then every month we would have to submit the receipts with our statements for an approving official to verify. If nothing was wrong they paid our credit cards. If there was an issue they would send it back to us to explain the questionable spending. Sometimes it was legitimate spending and sometimes it was fraud. So with 12 squadrons on the base that's 24 credit cards. Then each squadron had between 80-100? people who had their personal government travel card for official travel. Some people had low limits like 4500 bc they did not want a hard credit inquiry and some people had a higher limit like 10000. Similar to a gpc we had to submit receipts to an approving official to make sure our charges were legitimate. If we were good to go they were paid. If not they were kicked back to us or they only paid the balance for the legitimate expenses and the service member had to pay the difference. The benefit of these cards is that it makes tracking expenses and disbursing the payments easier.
