Why no monitoring of where our tax dollars were going?

My guess is they don't really read the bills they're signing.

The boomerang effect, they send coin out and it is returned to them.

Presidents have redirected where USAID money ended up after the budget has passed.

I think everyone underestimates the amount of sophisticated treachery and institutional slights of hand that is the machinery of the deep state.

It takes a lot of man power and patience to untangle the threads of deception. Look at the SPLC grift. Their game was obvious but unprovable until someone followed the money trail through multiple shell companies.

That’s just one political grift. Multiply it by 5 hundred.

Even now with all of the obviously nefarious details that came out with the the DOGE effort such as the USAID scams, politically the dems have a talking point that is being drum-beaten by the progressive media of all the dying children the cuts caused.

So let’s not be too hasty to beat up on our political allies like John Kennedy. The work is tougher than we care to admit and we tend to forget the wins as we focus on the continuing problems.

They all turn once in DC and even in Baton Rouge.

Coach Tubbs and Tim Burchett are about the only ones worth a damn.

One trip to the Capitol in BR during session and you can see it.

It's one big club and they are all patting each other on the back. You can see that it's all theatre and everything is decided in advance.

The disdain that the lobbyists have for citizens who are there is disgusting.

Kickbacks fund their campaigns. They do not answer to the people.

You realize there are 3 branches of government, right?

In fairness, Kennedy has been in Congress 9 yrs, ie 1 and a half terms, not decades.

I say I say, the money disappears like a squirrel when a hound dog runs through the yard.

Because no one in Congress cares about fixing problems proactively, they only care when it becomes politically expedient.

Congress is just a jobs program for psychopaths at this point.

You people are so f'ing retarded. You've got the 2 highest ranking members of the House, and a very senior member of the Senate, and all you want to do is bitch and moan and fantasize about getting rid of them.
