Huge government bureaucracies breed lack of accountability.

More than 1,000 IRS employees who misued government credits on purchases not related to official travel were identified by agency managers in 2010 and 2011, but the IG said the agency “failed to discipline about half of the cases” reviewed for the audit.

“Because the IRS’s mission includes requiring taxpayers to pay taxes owed on time and voluntarily, the IRS should take further steps to address employees who do not voluntarily pay their travel card bills on time,” the IG said.

Gee, ya think?
