As Elon Musk and his tech team urge their fellow Americans to become “domestic auditors” to help rein in federal spending, people have been encouraged to use the Treasury Department’s usaspending.gov website to identify and track government finance.
But usaspending.gov is wrong on the biggest picture, RealClearInvestigations found.
Yup, the current federal fiscal situation is like a moon sized gordian knot encased in bureaucratic concrete and the Dynamic Duo of Trump & Musk's efforts are as effective as trying to cut it with a boy Scout penknife.
ReplyDeleteNothing is impervious if you're prepared to rip things out at the root.
ReplyDeleteGeorge W Bush's last act was to create a 1 Trillion dollar 'shovel ready' stimulus package. There has not been a budget bill(s) since. Every year there has been a continuing resolution to just spend what we spent last year, plus 7 percent. In the following 16 years that 1 Trillion has more than doubled (via the 7-11 rule of interest accumulation) and no one knows where it was supposed to go or where it did!
ReplyDeleteThat $25 to $30 TRILLION dollar slush fund has driven all the antics of Clown World/Deep State. Interesting thought is; who's in charge of spending that slush fund if they find another C.R. while Trump is in charge?
Nothing changes until people go to jail. I'm sick of Mike Johnsons shit eating grin like everything is great.
