Today it's the Department of Justice...

whose Inspector General has found fault with the way DOJ spends or doesn't spend our money. The IG looked at 61,000 grants made between October 1998 and December 2005 for policing work. Some of the issues found:

• More than 8,000 grants had yet to be closed two years after their expiration date.
  
• $554 million was paid to programs after the grants expired.
  
• 129 grants were given to agencies that ultimately did not comply with program requirements.
  
• In all, the delays tied up more than $726 million that could have been spent elsewhere, the audit concluded.
