WHO: Department of Human Health and ServicesWHAT: Since 2005 HHS has spent more than $100,000 on travel costs for each of 400 HHS employees. According to JunketSleuth’s analysis, more than half of the trips were to ordinary meetings, conferences and speeches.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The travel costs are funded by taxpayers’ money. In a recession where people are cutting back on travel expenses, the government should be doing the same.
