From Fox News: A government watchdog has found that the Internal Revenue Service spent about $50 million to hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012, a House committee said Sunday.....
The conference spending included $4 million for an August 2010 gathering in Anaheim, Calif., for which the agency did not negotiate lower room rates, even though that is standard government practice, according to a statement by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Instead, some of the 2,600 attendees received benefits, including baseball tickets and stays in presidential suites that normally cost $1,500 to $3,500 per night. In addition, 15 outside speakers were paid a total of $135,000 in fees, with one paid $17,000 to talk about "leadership through art," the House committee said.

I'd really be able to yell and scream about this wasteful spending but.....
The same thing goes on in a lot of governments, including the Clark County School District.
You want to see wasteful spending, just go to a school on staff development day.
But I digress, the IRS should be watchful of government spending, since they are quite watchful of who pays their taxes.
And they are in charge of ObamaCare... Yipeee!!
