Did you suspect this much grift and waste before it started coming out? I know you said they wouldn't be able to put a dent in the deficit with just FWA cleanup. Do you still believe that to be the case?

Since 2003 since someone is asking..

that's a massive number.. and don't forget, that number is even bigger when you add the interest compounding over the last 20 years.. the snowball works in the opposite direction too, because if we had that money, we could have paid down our debt.. in theory

If it's the report posted earlier int his thread, the report is almost a year old

"DOGE" didn't find anything.

I think we still end up with a deficit in all 4 years of the Trump Presidency, increasing our debt without even discussing the interest issue.

Finding $236B/year after the fact in wasteful spending isn't the same as being able to cut that much moving forward. It's a moving target.

But let's just, for the sake of argument, say we could do that. That + USAID is $300B. Our deficit was over 5x that in 2023



If we cut all non-defense discretionary spending to $0 and added this non-discretionary savings, we'd still be running a deficit.

People just don't comprehend how large our annual deficits are.

Oh and 2.7 Trillion

is the same as

2.7 Million x 1 Million

2,700,000,000,000

That's a shitload of zeros.

This report is almost a year old. Do we have examples of Democrats "screaming" about the findings that anyone can find to post?

Over what time period?

If it is each year that means we are more corrupt. If it is over a decade not a much stolen money. But I am hoping for more corrupt here because that means the income tax is going to go bye-bye once we stop this crap.

If MTG is trying to claim they "just found" data in a report from a year ago, it's basically 20 years.

Significant? Yes

Mind blowing? No.

He's a narcissist and has a personality disorder.


Every single time that I've confronted him on this he quickly heads to another thread. He knows , deep inside, that we are correct. This is why he doesn't care if it's positive or negative feedback as long as it's about him.

Curious as to why your side wasn't discussing this in the media then?

That's where you're wrong. I think it's sad that you have no friends nor any type of human socializing and have to seek your need for attention on here.


Glad to see you haven't totally gone off the edge with all the recent Tranny EO's. I know that issue is extremely important.


And by the way if you think 2.7 trillion in illegal payments was to small for your people then you're full of shite.

The five main habits of a narcissist are: a lack of empathy, an excessive need for admiration, a grandiose sense of self, a sense of entitlement, and manipulative behavior; essentially, they often exhibit a self-centered attitude, believing they are superior to others and deserving of special treatment, while struggling to understand or care about the feelings of others. 

Key points about these habits:

Lack of empathy: Inability to recognize or relate to the emotions and needs of others. 

Excessive need for admiration: Constant desire for praise and attention from others. 

Grandiose sense of self: An inflated view of their own importance and abilities. 

Sense of entitlement: Belief that they deserve special treatment and are above rules. 

Manipulative behavior: Using tactics to control and exploit others to achieve their own goals.

Democrats were trying to bankrupt America to prove capitalism doesn’t work. When you get past that point it all makes sense.
