Why do government employees have credit cards? When i was in the Air Force, we had GPC cards but honestly it was easier to just pay out of pocket and get reimbursed when i had to travel for training. The Air force took care of flights and i just had to pay for hotels and food and they gave me X per day based on location.

Seems like a smart move to just remove the GPC program in general. you can spend up to 10K with literally no competition requirements... Seems like there is alot of room for fraud, waste and abuse there. Better to reduce red tape for procurement and have a more centralized purchasing manager coordinate like every company does.
