[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess we will see.   Saw this on X last night:

• The CBO revealed at least 1,264 federal programs and bureaus have expired authorizations, but they still received $516B in funding for FY2024

• The Government Accountability Office estimates the federal government wastes $247B in taxpayer money each year

• The Department of the Treasury reported $24.5B in "unreconciled transactions" in the past meaning it spent ~$25B on unknown items

• Department of Agriculture employees misused government issued credit cards spending millions on personal purchases like concert tickets, tattoos, lingerie and car payments

• $33.2M was spent on transgender monkey research

• The NIH spent part of a $2.7M grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill

• The DoD ruined $170M of military equipment by leaving it outside

• The US Agency for International Development spent $6M to promote tourism in Egypt

• The SBA gave over $200M to music artists like Post Malone, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne through the Covid Paycheck Protection Program

• The US military bought soap dispensers for aircraft at over 80 times the commercial price[/quote]

Ok I just looked up a few of these allegations and I’m only seeing 200k on transgender monkey research (which I actually agree is cruel based on what I read online, but is nowhere near 33M).

Not sure if the musicians used the SBA loans to (hopefully) pay venue workers during shut downs, but also it was during Trump that we had PPP loans and I’m guessing there are some Republican pockets that took part in applying for money.

Re: the NIH Russia funding, it was Biden who cut that off.

If you want to more closely monitor funding for DOD military equipment great. I don’t know many dems who would object to less funding there.

The Dept of Agriculture credit card fraud literally dates back to 2003. Why are we citing a few employees’ misconduct (which was caught) under the Bush Administration as a basis for creating a Billionaire shadow government in 2025?[/quote]
