-- like fourteen years old.

Seriously people that -- -- said the head of the general service administration resigned Monday.

After it was reported they spent nearly a million bucks of your -- on a conference in Las Vegas.

The spending included a mind reader a comedian and a clown so now we know where Bob was when he got that speaking gig.

The GSA which is basically a glorified office closet also spent 75 grand on a training exercise to build a bicycle.

Was I guess qualifies as Obama's first successful Green job.

-- making funny this is like shooting that fish and a tiny barrel but remember it was President Obama told us to hold off on those vacations so Las Vegas.

But I guess it's different when you go -- -- someone else's dime -- yours.

And this news comes delightfully at tax time.

Here's a fact according to the Tax Foundation my favorite foundation you'll spend more in taxes this year.

Then on food clothing and housing combined.

I repeat that fact but I fear it may jump out of a window and take -- with me.

We made a pact sadly you spent nearly seven.

Just working to pay that off that's only a few less than Obama's played golf this year.

So how -- is it to know that that money went to clowns to mind readers and comedians.

Which should be the title of the Obama administration directory by the way.

But it -- it could be -- the GSA instead of screwing around could've done some real work and the only thing worse and government spending is getting what you pay for.

Can you Dana can you explain to me what that.

A look at your face of abject fear -- -- it isn't the clouds stared -- glad I'm not that a bottoming all right.

That TSA what exactly -- -- TSA that is the general services administration and the -- by now.

Yeah.

I also think that they interpret -- through that again like -- office supply on the person you know when you -- they only allow you to -- bic pens right that's what the GSA is supposed to be.

I didn't -- I think is funny is that they actually had to be caught on this later on.

-- the chain of command along the way or another brainstorming meetings about the kind of meeting -- -- gonna put together public transit stop.

Mind reader and -- made my mind you're gonna get fired.

Fair point in my mind -- should've seen this coming up you can tell -- I looked up don't have as it.

It was actually pretty did you guys point out that forget the 850 grand it's bad enough but this GSA.

Their budget is twenty billion dollars -- when other buildings twelve.

1500.

Employees yeah if that doesn't -- government waste in its no one -- -- nothing goes right.

This is a meeting involved is a do around the country -- -- to the clown.

I'm and the rest of those probably cost about 300 -- but of course we.

-- -- -- -- Now let me ask you this why would function on this when the -- airports which is paying hundreds of millions of dollars.

For -- jet engine they don't need or the Defense Department is paying.

Billions of dollars for things that they don't -- we don't talk about those getting -- -- -- credit it -- the White House that -- her when I found out about this well they -- that they should be -- to be the Defense Department who are spending our money but don't you're about the good Clara Williams went to command our evaluation of the -- department that.

All government to women do you think that's a good question for Barack Obama -- if there's so much government waste he just -- why are we wasting all this money in the Defense Department why hasn't Barack Obama rooted out it is normal weren't letting.

Why do we pay money for our clown in a town where we have hundreds of -- not on Capitol Hill believe different for -- -- -- shrink clowns and we got a break coming up -- new documentary sheds light on a trend some are calling a national crisis.

If you -- now I won't let you read my -- standard -- fan fiction.
