Some U.S. Government workers maybe squirming.
Their government credit card bills have been released in a new report.
The Government Accountability Office says employees were abusing their credit accounts.
According to the report, a postal employee treated 81 people to dinner at a high price steak house. The bill was $13,000. That's $166 a person.
Another employee charged $1,100 for an online dating service for married people and a state department employee bought $360 in lingerie.

Wednesday night, The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric highlighted more of the charges. You can see Chip Reid's report by clicking the video tab.
