The Federal Government Has Wasted How Much?

Stephen Green at PJ Media tells us: "Instead of drawing out the big mystery over how much of your money Washington wastes on improper payments, I'll just tell you right up front: In the 20 years between 2003 and 2023, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates the total money blown on payments made in error, or in the wrong amount, or with no documentation (!!!) is $2.7 TRILLION."

    Interesting numbers. That's pretty much the same amount that the US government wasted on the pointless 20 year long war in Afghanistan.

      Pretty much. And this is just unauthorized payments and doesn't include payments that were correctly made pursuant to law but were still for stupid things.
