You want to hear another one. When I was working for the governement. Not to long ago. All our government issue credit card info were stolen from the Bank of America. We all got letters in the mail stateing we are not to use the cards at all and turn them in to you local office. It seemed the hacker was able to get over 250k worth of employee data. All their personnal info etc. I never got a new card as I left my work before they could hand them out. But to show you how F-ed up the system is. The card you get is fully connected to you. IE no differant if you got the card yourself. There is no connection between any purchases on the card and the governments credit. It all comes from your own personnal credit. But the bad thing is if you charged something while on business (say a hotel room) it went on your credit as bad if the government took their sweet ass time paying the bill. I had a 1k charge take 4 months for them to pay after I submitted the paperwork. Everyone who works there justs wants to use their own cards and submit the paperwork after like they normally would. This way you will be paying the card anyway at the end of the month and when the government pays it then cool. But going to governemt card way. You charge, submit the papers, they take 3 or 4 months to pay, and durring that time you have to pay to the card and then resubmit all the payments you made to the government to get your money back. Just crazy. My bro has a good saying. If its not a car or a house and you cant buy it with cash then you dont most likly dont need it.
