I'm sorry, but this was not "mismanagement". Mismanagement would indicate that this happened by mistake. This is called stealing, and people should go to prison.
I find this so rediculous that someone points out a case when the law was broken, and millions of dollars were stolen, and so obviously this means that anything the government handles is "mismanaged"??
That's a pretty absurd conclusion. The reason this sort of "mismanagement" does not happen in private industry is because if someone did this in private industry, they would be prosecuted and end up in prison.
How about instead of calling it mismanagement and accepting it, you write your elected leaders and demand accountability. Maybe if we prosecuted government employees who steal, then this sort of thing would not happen.
