Waste and Capitalism go together period! To my fellow OTB subscribers, there is only one way to stop wasteful spending. Social Security and the U.S Post Office demonstrate how it can be achieved. Both of these very successful governmental programs are not perfect and have flaws, but they have generally achieved their goals (although politicians have unsuccessfully attempted to enact policies to destroy them both). The solution is to provide public options and cooperatives for various services, vote in Socialist candidates wherever possible. We must remove corporate billionaire funded politicians of both major parties. Finally, the public or government must become the national landlord, employer and financier. Yes, open the books and open the political/economic process as well. I dare you. Give "We the People" a public choice, The commercially private ownership of property and finance with its equally irresponsible and wasteful institutional programs, will always be wasteful. Corrupt and wealthy private contractors will benefit more than the masses of people. By the way, the real threat to wasteful capitalism is not privately funded OTB but publicly owned spaces like PBS and NPR. Unfortunately, PBS/NPR have to avoid educating and informing the public about many facts. Even their mild programming now faces annihilation by the fragile Capitalism economic system (reliance on corporate donors and billionaires were placed on their board of directors which greatly dilutes their public programming).
Make a deal with Trump, that you get 10% of all the waste that you find. Then you can stop your begging for money. Most of us don't have anything to spare. Everybody wants a handout!
You sound like a typical Democrat who doesn’t understand what free market capitalism is all about. One of the Bernie Sanders, AOC acolytes. Everything for free except people.
In your organization of the Spending Genome Project, I'd like to see a top down view where one can start at the top (say 7 trillion total budget) and see all the department totals under that such as the FBI, DOD, CIA, etc. Then keep drilling down into sub-departments and until reaching the project levels where most of the excessive spending on things like furniture and DEI nonsense was occurring.
DOGE can self cover their own expenses by transferring the oversized and wasteful funds to their own truthful overhead operating expenses
all governments are a scam, doge was theater too

It's possible everything just changed.
