When do the democrats start getting embarrassed by this?


Democrats don't have shame or guilt for wrong doing. They just double down, stick their fingers deeper in their ears, their heads further up their asses while screaming louder and louder. It's actually quite amazing.

I calculated what the approximate spending would have been each year starting in 2003 if the average was 236. It's a geometric increase that increases approximately 6% each year starting in 2003 and ending in 2024.

Yeah it's an annual report, we should get another one next month. Apparently, this stuff is just "par for the course".

Then we all need to dig our toes in and stop paying taxes. I was expecting egregious, but some of this has really pissed me off. The country basically paid for everything Chelsea Clinton has, which means you and I. We can't have those things because we're too busy paying taxes so other people can. frick that.

As far as I'm concerned, they're all paid government shills.

I'd wager a big percentage of it winds up in India. Who hasn't gotten a call from Sandeep or Dipan posing as Steve or Jared, wanting to talk about the open enrollment period for Medicaid? I always figured no one was stupid enough to fall for those scams. Guess I was wrong.

Also, now I'm demanding jail time over this.


I am hoping the reason this hasn't started is that they are waiting for all the cabinet nominees to be confirmed or at least Kash at FBI. Guessing he is needed to investigate and present the evidence to DOJ.

But yes will be very disappointing if this is either found to be legal somehow and nothing happens/laws are not changed or illegal and no one is at the very least charged.

Is it criminal to be bad at your job to not catch fraud from overseas sources? That is what is so absurd about all of this is we don't know who is actually responsible for stopping this

At this rate, if federal judges stop being politicians, we could get to a balanced budget.

How do they know these payments are improper? It would be interesting to see what tipped them off.

You have to have morality and personal self worth to feel embarrassment.

I'm to the point where I think they should just say "frick it" and cut off all federal funding, wipe it to zero, and then start adding things back that are necessary. There is way too much waste going on.

To help put this in context, this is from Jimbeaux's thread about the annual budget for USAID

quote:

Total annual expenditures for the following departments:

Entire Judicial Branch of Government - $9 billion

Entire Federal Bureau of Prisons - $8.3 billion

Corp of Civil Engineers - $7 billion

NASA - $25 billion

State Department (all embassies) - $35 billion

Dept of Education - $275 billion

Veterans Affairs - $364 billion

Department of Defense - $845 billion

Health and Human Services - $1.8 trillion
