Are you surprised about all the fraud, waste and corruption being exposed by D.O.G.E.?

@CorvusBlackthorne
Evidence was created.

@swirlie Manufactured, you might say.

@CorvusBlackthorne

@LordShadowfire
Manufactured is a good one too! I like that!

@sunsporter1649 A cartoon is not evidence.

@sunsporter1649 Neither is a clearly photoshopped image of an ostrich.

Have you taken your medication?

@CorvusBlackthorne Congressional funding for expired programs

The Congressional Budget Office recently found that Congress provided $516 billion in appropriations this fiscal year to programs that had expired under federal law.
The funds were associated with nearly 500 expired authorizations, according to the CBO’s July report.
“Nearly two-thirds ($320 billion) of that $516 billion was provided for activities whose authorizations expired more than a decade ago,” the report said.
According to CBO’s estimates, about half of the authorized appropriations in the report expired at least 10 years ago, and the oldest expired in 1980.
In 2023, the amount of funding for expired authorizations was $519 billion.

Payment errors

The federal government made $247 billion worth of payment errors in fiscal year 2022 and $236 billion in 2023, according to the Government Accountability Office.
These errors, also known as improper payments, include overpayments or payments that should not have been made, such as to someone who died or someone no longer eligible for government programs.
Estimates show the federal government spent $2.7 trillion in payment errors since 2003.
In 2022, the majority of improper payments spanned across 82 programs, a majority coming from Medicaid ($81 billion) and Medicare ($47 billion).
“Improper payments and fraud are long-standing and significant problems in the federal government,” said House testimony from GAO in September.

@acpguy Anyone can make a claim. Prove it.

@CorvusBlackthorne When did you stop beating your wife?

@sunsporter1649 I think the dementia must be kicking in, as you have inadvertently made my point for me. @acpguy is making unfounded claims without providing any sort of a source.

Not that I expect him to find a source which isn't radically partisan. He expects me to believe that Newsmax is a neutral, impartial source.

@CorvusBlackthorne

@sunsporter1649 Ah, yes, the dementia is in full swing. You have reached the point in your cycle when you think a comic strip is evidence.

@CorvusBlackthorne

Can someone please contact @sunsporter1649's carers? He appears to have missed a dose of his medication again.

@CorvusBlackthorne Maybe your should contact Biden's other Doctor (not Jill) about the meds they gave him that could keep him almost coherent for about 10 minutes before they failed and he couldn't find his way off of a stage with out someone guiding him.
