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.

City Comptroller Steals $53 Million

Federal prosecutors say in an indictment that a former financial officer for the city of Dixon in northern Illinois stole millions more than an initial investigation had uncovered.

Tuesday's indictment accuses Rita Crundwell of stealing more than $53 million from the city since 1990. In an initial criminal complaint filed upon her April 17 arrest, prosecutors had accused her of siphoning $30 million in public funds to a secret account she controlled.

Crundwell is accused of using the money to fund her successful horse-breeding operations and a lavish lifestyle that included expensive jewelry and luxury vehicles.
