How do these things happen when so many Congress people have tried to fix this and end up being just one more graffter. However term limits is not the answer that's why we have the vote. Teach our children, in or out, of school how great this country is and why it is so great.

That whole PDF was just ... wow.

We need to just start nuking bureaucracies from orbit. Very few need to exist, they should be lead by an appointee from each state, salaried by that state, to simply assess and publish data (and possible recommendations). Leave it up to the states what regulations to enforce.

Nuke the fed, SS, the entirety of HHS, Medicare/Medicaid, government funding for just about anything.

Bring back the Golden Fleece award or something like it. It would be a great way to focus public attention on wasteful/fraudulent government spending.

Why are only White people’s taxes expected to pay for their assimilation out of existence by unlimited third-world immigration and FORCE integration into EVERY White country and ONLY White countries?

Nobody demands that the Chinese must pay for their assimilation out of existence by breeding with millions of non-Chinese in their own country.

Diversity is just a code word for White Genocide.

There is no such thing as government "waste" it is all theft and corruption. Does anyone believe that the money stolen is in a trash dump somewhere or in the bank account of some bureaucrat, politician or their cronies?

That will solve nothing, unfortunately - both party establishments get on very well in private, and are happy to continue porking us all where it hurts.

It is all very funny. But every year there is more and more, with the already noted programs getting funded again.

Biden thinks money grows on trees.

Certainly a lot of waste. A little sensitive to some science grants being called out when they are not put in context. Would love to chat with the author if he shared an email address.

Or... put them in context right here if you have information you believe should be shared.

So, it's easy to be critical when a headline reads "taxpayers fund $100k to study sexual behavior of flies" when there are likely more details that would make the research seem at least somewhat more reasonable. I'm just making this up (I'm not a biologist) but perhaps something about fly sexual habits is related to infertility in humans, and the proposal would explain this, but it does not make the headline. Also, if that work is done at a university, which it most likely is, the university is taking half of that as their bloated overhead fees. To me, that does not get nearly enough scrutiny. Instead, we pick on the science. The scientist doing the work probably has a fairly low-mid range salary, grad students are paid next to nothing, yet the university is raking in money and paying administration big bucks.

Does this mean conservatives are ready to PAY for their Republican Wars, even without Saddam's nukes?

The wars we've lately fought, are fighting now are Democrat-trademarked, though Republicans have their own warmongers, of course.

RINOs and Neo-cons aren't conservative Republicans in my eyes.

Thanks for the facts about government waste. There isn’t one fact here that any ordinary American would consider a redeemable cause. And then the government says they need more. Too bad we just can’t stop this waste for three years and get all those infrastructure jobs, including the wall finished. Pretty discouraging. Thanks for taking this on Adam. I appreciate you.

Every dime spent by the federal gov is spent on the citizens behalf. Federal taxes do not fund federal spending. Study MMT. The US Gov issues the currency, they don't borrow it.

MMT is a liberal brainchild and an answer looking for a question. Also, look around you, genius. MMT got us the inflation we are currently experiencing.

Only one caveat - MMT is a progressive, not a liberal, theory.

Fair enough.
