A Sample of GAO Reports

The following is just a small sampling of what the GAO produces every month. Look through them. You'll see big numbers - our money - being wasted. You'll read about poor internal control, lack of oversight, poor management, outright theft, etc. And you'll see that the GAO is interested in more than saving money.

If Obama and company really want to save money, this is where they should start.
