Un-Liberaled Woman

Frivolous Govt. Spending = Okay
Private Sector Spending of Any Kind = Not Okay & Taxable

Remember when our new Liberal Dictatorship in DC went apesh*t over AIG throwing a $400k conference that ultimately would have helped them develop business (new business that would help them bring in revenue and payback the taxpayer-funded loan they were granted). Yeah, well, apparently spending that kind of money in the private sector is not okay and calls for pitchfork mobs in the media and then unconstitutional retroactive tax legislation. Geeeeeeeet ‘em Richies!!!!

But then fast forward a few months down the line and all of the sudden it’s okay for a literally failing and scheduled to be BANKRUPT (that is no funds) government organization to spend twice that – $700,000 to be exact – on a conference that includes airfare, hotel “entertainment”, motivational speakers, food, and WAIT.FOR.IT – dancers. Because nothing will make your SS account yield more profit than lazy government workers shakin’ what their mama gave ‘em.

Pot calling the kettle black, say whaaaaaaaat???

It turns out that Social Security, which I deem the federal government’s official Ponzi scheme that keeps the elderly & lower economic classes poor, can get away with spending double the amount of taxpayer money that they then publicly chide AIG for doing the same with. (via Instapundit)

I understand that AIG’s event was from the perspective of educating its sales force to then develop business for more high-end clients and that as such could have been more appropriate to have been hosted at the company’s headquarters. But so was this conference for the Social Security Administration:

The SSA provided ABC15 with a list of courses provided at the conference, which included “Techniques to Empower You,” “Mentoring the Generations,” and “Emotional Intelligence.”  But the information provided by the SSA did not mention an after-hours casino trip, family members staying at the hotel, or the 20-minute dance party ABC15 observed.

So if the conferences were technically the same in format, structure and participants how come it’s okay for the SSA but not AIG? Here’s what Obama said during the AIG occurrence:

“The Treasury should demand that money back and those executives should be fired.”

Gee, what’s the response now? I totally agree for once with the Unicorn Princess - Social Security should be eliminated and the tax payers should demand their money back.
