Your Tax Dollars At Work – $50K “Patton” Video

It is nice to know that the VA has such an abundance of funds that they feel the need to spend “slightly over” $100 million on conferences. (Yes, that is sarcasm.) It is still shocking to see the things that they waste money on – like this $50K conference video that was shown twice.

So please take a moment to see how the VA spends your tax dollars…
