These people are just not serious. A credit card spending limit of $1 for purchases and travel expenses?!?
As a #longtimefed I was under strict limitations about how I spent funds. To buy a box of paper or subscription to an academic journal or pay for a translation, I had to have approval from multiple people. Then, to have the bill paid, I had to submit several pages for each purchase.
FYI, the credit card was the required payment method.

Tamra We can expect some really quality service from the fed government here on out. 🙄 (edited) 15h
ImperfectCJ @Aims42 You've hit the nail on the head...they're not trying to fix things; they're trying to break things. It's just not clear why, except to make themselves the only other option so they can consolidate power (and contracts). 13h
Susanita @Aims42 A $1 spending limit is, of course, absurd. I guess he thinks he found some more fraud? There‘s always going to be someone trying to game the system, but those cases are very rare and the people get caught. That‘s why the people who don‘t cheat have to justify every purchase thoroughly. 13h
marleed I remember when the govt credit cards became the norm for travel. Before that we received a wad of cash for travel. Not only were the credits cards safer but it was an automatic audit trail on how govt funds were used in travel. As a retired DoD civil servant, how DOGE is conducting business is making me so angry. 25m
Susanita @marleed Yes, the travel cards brought their own headaches but on balance made things much easier. now
