GAO needs some accountability!!!

The Government Accountability Office (GAO)'s big dog, David Walker has spent alot of time and money traveling overseas for the head of an organization that is suppose to provide research and oversight aid to Congress. Why is Mr. Walker going to China, Ulaan Baatar, New Zealand, Seoul, and South Africa over the last four years? Just for the 2004 fiscal year these trips have cost (54 in total) $10,959,48 in tax payer money.

I am I the only one that sees something wrong with the leader of Congress's top oversight body taking trips overseas? I guess we just don't have enough problems domestically for Mr. Walker to deal with? You know, with us fixing Social Security, healthcare, and taxes, GAO now needs to help out China and New Zealand. Whats next? A flight to the moon?
