DOGE Deactivates 523,000 Credit Cards

I know it happened at my workplace when I was there. There is honestly no need for them. The federal government knows how to transfer money to pay its debts. They do it every day by electromic direct deposit.

Cash advances for travel work just fine. Activity travel offices know how to do that once a traveller presents their properly signed travel orders. I hated to travel and avoided it as much as possible, but the basic per diem rate always covered my expenses. In fact, federal workers don't even have to travel anymore with video conferencing widely available.
