“Wastefraudenabuse,” a.k.a. “wastefrausenabuse.” I have been hearing this semantic flash-bang grenade all my life from pols running for office. And guess what? When they got to Washington they did a very good job of rooting it out! Ask Elon Musk. He couldn’t find any. So he just fired thousands of folks and called those salaries that weren’t being paid any longer as “savings. If you fire 200,000 civil servants, you will save an amount of money almost equal to one day’s interest on the national debt. Where the fraud is, is not in the government itself but in the programs and contracts of the federal government. For instance, Medicare fraud is almost a cottage industry in the state of Florida. If you want to find fraud within the government, you need to look in the Internal Revenue Service. The fraud is in the tax returns of the top 1% of income earners. This is an “elephant-in-the-room” fact. There are billions to be mined here. That is why this billionaire Boys Club regime has fired 31% of the IRS audit staff to make sure the fraud is very unlikely to be caught. What happened to the $88 billion Biden had allocated for the IRS?
