Social Security Admin technically did nothing wrong with Arizona conference

A YouTube video courtesy of visitphoenix.com gives a travel overview of the city that is a popular golf destination.Thousands have read our story about the Social Security Administration Training Conference in Phoenix, Arizona at a top tier hotel. Many of those readers apparently work for SSA, judging by our IP number stats. When a number recurs, I look it up.
I’ve received emails and other bloggers’ posts on the topic have attracted commentary. Some defend the SSA; others deride the agency. I acknowledge the SSA did nothing wrong technically—the agency spent legally budgeted money on a legally accepted expense. Some point out the conference actually acted like the ‘Stimulus,’ helping the economy.
I didn’t agree with the officially issued ‘Stimulus,’ though and I’m not biting the benefits bait on the issue of the conference.
Another overlooked donkey in the room is the carbon footprint.
