Only in government do you need to have a Bill like this!

New Joni Ernst bill would deactivate government-issued credit cards for nonexistent employees

A new bill would mandate that federally issued credit cards get deactivated as soon as a government employee leaves their job, after an audit earlier this year found there were more active federal credit cards than employees.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), the Senate DOGE Caucus boss, is introducing the Deactivating and Eliminating Cards Linked to Inactive or Nonexistent Employees (DECLINE) Act to cancel those credit cards.

“Taxpayers should not be footing the bill for bureaucrats to swipe away at casinos, night clubs and bars,” Ernst told The Post in a statement.
