The State Department spent more than $630,000 on advertising campaigns to boost the number of Facebook "likes" for the agency's pages on the website, according to a report released by the agency's inspector general.

Between 2011 and March 2013, the agency's Bureau of International Information Programs used the funds on advertising to increase the number of fans for each of its four Facebook pages from 100,000 to more than 2 million, according to the May report.

Sad and pathetic.  :mental:

We need a Donald Trump apprentice czar. Every case of fraud waste and abuse would be met with "You're fired" !
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
