This isn’t just fraud; it’s a shocking indicator of how little accountability there is in our government. The issue extends beyond mere dollar amounts.

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) held her DOGE subcommittee hearing and announced it has discovered that over the past 20 years, the U.S. government has squandered $2.7 trillion on improper payments.
