I've had the great good fortune to work for not one, not two, but THREE employers who had other employees stealing from them. And in each case, I told my superiors (?) ahead of time not only that it WOULD HAPPEN, but I told them how it would happen and who would do it. When there's a breakdown in the normal checks and balances, you've got a fertile field for corruption to grow.

This is why I am always utterly astonished at the reports of wide-spread fraud and corruption in government spending. As nitpicky as the IRS is when it comes to collecting our money, where in hell are all the accountants and auditors when the spending is going on? What IMBECILE came up with the idea of giving government employees credit cards and then not going over the statements every month?

Corruption (party of the first part) + stupidity (party of the second part) = (now, where's the emoticon for sand down a rat-hole?)
