$700,000.00 for a Retreat?

[Poorboy]

It was Reported Today that 700 Higher Ups from the Social Security Administration Flew to Phoenix for a 3 Day Retreat which Cost Taxpayers a Whopping $700,000.00. Their Reasons: They said that "Some" Of their Employees were Getting Threatened (Not Them But Their Employees) And it was Just Too Stressful!! Sounds Like the Governments version of AIG Huh?

Change I can believe in.

I don't care how many people it was , they spend $700,000 from a fund that they keep telling us is going broke, when id bet there is NO money....and even if there was...the money deducted from those peoples checks that pay it, is to be sent to the people, nt spent on this kind of crap....admin cost, to a point yes.....$700,000 for 675 employees and some of their family, dancers, meals.....sorry not from a fund that is broke...and i won't bust on barry on this, this would have happened no matter who was in office....this is the government out of control spending....
