It seems like every day I read about how government wastes money so I thought I would record them. Since I began this blog, I have been stunned by the amount of waste, fraud, and mismanagement I have found. I recognize that some government is necessary for any society to exist but without the "profit incentive" that we have in private enterprise, government continues to grow like a cancer and along with it the potential for abuse. If you ever needed a reason to limit government, just read some of the following posts.

$100,000/Year "Invitations Coordinator"

In the midst of the administration’s efforts to drastically reduce the nation’s military personnel and hike pay for government employees comes this gem: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is prepared to pay a salary of more than $100,000 for an employee to assist in planning bureau events.

According to a job listing on USAJobs.com, the federal government’s official employment classifieds site, the CFPB is seeking an “invitations coordinator” to “support management of CFPB’s participation in external events by developing and maintaining databases and event calendar and providing advice and guidance on consideration of invitations.”

The position will pay up to $102,900, and carries lavish benefits, including comprehensive health, vision, dental, life, and long-term care insurance programs, a federal retirement plan, and 10 paid holidays, 13 sick days, and up to 26 vacation days per year.
