      The waste in the government is mainly from military spending and congress is set to increase the military spending budget by 200 Billion dollars this year on top of the nearly 1 Trillion dollars it already spends - making these civilian spending cuts by Musk is a waste of time.

      You can see what the money is spend on. The OMB prepares annual reports and the GAO audits those reports. I know that would require actual reading and effort. Do you actually understand anything about how gov works? Oh, and by the way, the primary oversight and mechanism to report and investigate gov misappropriation of any kind in any agency/dept is through the Inspector General's office for that agency. Oh no wait, we can't because Trump removed all of them. Totally on the up and up.

    The bigger question is why congress who says spend this amount on this thing has not or cannot do exactly the same thing Elon is doing. If I give my kid the credit card to buy clothes for school on Amazon and they buy games instead I can see that. Ask RO or someone that. Ultimately there has to be a public report on what is spent to the taxpayer. Understand some things will be classified but not to the congress.

  • @ninamecham11
    @ninamecham11 3 години тому +2

    When spending is transparent and the money can be DAILY at free will checked by the taxpayers who are giving the money, things will change. Transparency in spending cannot happen AFTER the spending, it needs to be happening in real time. It has to change.
