Delightful. I don't know about you, but I feel safer already.
QuoteScott MacFarlane, investigative reporter at NBC-4 Washington, discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests, that Department of Homeland Security employees put $30,000 of Starbucks on the cards in 2013. Agency employees spent about $12,000 at one Starbucks in Alameda, Calif., and several of those purchases were for just under the $3,000 "micropurchase" threshold, which means they can avoid scrutiny.

It's really, really nice spending other people's money and not being held accountable.... :-\
I stand by my belief the DHS needs to be shuttered and Americans just accept that there is risk involved with having freedom.
This is *just* Alameda, California. We haven't gotten to Walnut Creek yet!
What is a cup of freedom worthÉ
Keyboard has gone wonky
I can think of many a morning where coffee kept me out of jail.
I thought coffee was one of the cheapest ways to keep employees happy? Then again, this isn't a private company :)
the gubernment uses hookers now.
These guys make enough money to buy their own damn coffee. Hell, besides that most Starbucks will give them the coffee free anyway if they see a badge. Charging it to taxpayers is yet even more of the "let them eat cake" mentality we are seeing in our government today.
In this case it is caramel macchiatos.
