• At $1 trillion, Biden-Harris the most wasteful administration ever

    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently announced that the 2024 fiscal-year federal budget deficit � the amount the government spent over
    and above what it received in total revenue � was $1.8 trillion. That
    makes the Biden-Harris administration by far the biggest deficit spenders
    in modern history. Worse yet, Biden-Harris also wasted more money than any other administration, roughly $1 trillion, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

    The Biden-Harris four-year deficit total was $7.65 trillion � roughly 50 percent more than Donald Trump�s four-year deficit total of $5.56
    trillion, and that figure included $3.13 trillion spent in FY2020, the
    first year of the pandemic. Had Trump�s fourth year deficit been in the
    general range of his first three years, his total deficit spending would
    have been about $3.25 trillion, less than half of Biden-Harris�s actual four-year deficit.

    To be sure, some of the Biden-Harris deficit spending was also because of
    the pandemic, but then Biden used the pandemic as a catch-all excuse to
    ladle out money he was eager to spend anyway.

    But with great spending should come increased efforts to minimize fraud
    and waste. And that�s where Biden-Harris really failed. Last April the GAO released its �improper payments� assessment, and Team Biden has the
    dubious distinction of wasting more taxpayer money than any previous administration.

    �Improper payments� aren�t all fraud, though fraud makes up a significant portion. The GAO defines improper payments as �those [payments] that
    should not have been made or were made in the incorrect amount.� So, for example, if Medicare overpaid a hospital for its services, that would be
    an improper overpayment. But there is also a lot of outright fraud in
    health care and several other federal programs, areas where payments
    �should not have been made.�

    The GAO says that in FY2023, Medicare and Medicaid together accounted for
    more than $100 billion in improper payments. Another $43.6 billion in
    improper payments went to Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, $21.9 billion
    was for the Earned Income Tax Credit, and $18.7 billion was for the
    Paycheck Protection loan forgiveness program.

    But it�s when we compare the Biden and the Trump years that we get a sense
    of the magnitude of the improper payments. Trump�s four-year tally of
    improper payments (using the government�s fiscal year of Oct. 31 to Sept.
    30) was $672.8 billion � which was unacceptably high but included the
    gusher of money Congress spent in the 2020 pandemic year. Biden�s, by
    contrast, is about $1 trillion. (Note: Since the GAO hasn�t updated its document to include FY2024, I used Biden�s 2023 number again for 2024).

    Here are some of the recent health care fraud stories that could make you
    sick.

    �Scammers ripped off NY�s controversial Medicaid homecare program to the
    tune of $68M: feds,� the New York Post reports.
    Here�s one from September: �Scammers have taken more than $100 million
    meant for senior citizens� Medicare bills, �� according to CBS News.
    From last August: �At a recent federal conference Operations Officer Mike Cohen, with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) announced that
    urinary catheter scams have now cost Medicare�over $4 billion in losses�in 2024.�
    This is from the Department of Justice last year in Detroit: �Twenty-Three individuals charged in $61.5 million Medicare fraud schemes.�
    And these are only some of the scams law enforcement caught. Had these
    scammers kept the dollar amounts down, they might have been able to
    continue flying under the radar.

    The important point is whether the government overpaid some group or
    individual or it was the result of fraud or some other type of scam,
    either way the government has wasted the money � your money. While the government has been trying to claw back some of those funds by finding and prosecuting the crooks, most of it will be unrecoverable.

    The fact is, the more taxpayer money the government hands out to
    individuals, organizations and businesses, the more fraud and improper
    payments there will be. And the government has never been very good at
    catching or stopping it. So the very first step in addressing the improper-payment problem is for the government to stop spending so much.

    Second point, and related to the first, is that government handouts should
    be targeted and limited to those most in need. But instead, the Biden-
    Harris administration has vastly expanded the number of people and
    businesses getting taxpayer money. And as president, Kamala Harris wants
    to hand out even more.

    Politicians like to claim they will save taxpayer money by reducing waste, fraud and abuse, but virtually no one ever does. And these days they don�t
    even try. Certainly, President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris haven�t tried,
    and the $1 trillion wasted in improper payments is all the proof we need.


    --
    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.

    Yea, but look how much money they managed to divert into the coffers of the DNC, DNC non-profits, Democrat leads and their families...

    Indeed about the only people not helped by this spending seems to be the
    people who the money was appropriated to aid.

    Trump is spending ever more but his economy is still in the tank.

    Yep, because one thing most people can't seem to grasp is that government spending does NOT improve the economy in the long term. Oh, it can have some short term improvements, the consequences of the inflation and taxation that results from such spending hurts more than it will help and those factors remain a drag on the economy long after the spending is over.

    If the government were to apply every cent to servicing the nation debt it would take about 9 years to pay it off.

    Now. Take your annual income multiply it by 9 and then consider that is a
    loan you have to pay off.

    For most people that would mean bankruptcy.

    Yep, because one thing most people can't seem to grasp is that
    government spending does NOT improve the economy in the long term.


    LOL!

    You really don't believe building the
    interstate highway system improved the economy?

    You really don't believe creating the
    internet improved the economy?

    You really don't believe government

    the economy?

    You really don't think VA housing

    Tell that to all the Republicans

    much money Biden's IRA program would pump
    into their local economy.

    What do you think the president should do about homeless citizens?

    Give them all the drugs they want, collect the bodies later and grind them

    We know that you are an honest person, and are not going to go around pirating copies of Interactive Easyflow; this is just as well with us since

    of their own agendas?


    1) Should the public pay for Catholic and
    Muslim and Kare Krishna schools at the
    expense of public schools?

    2) And what about small counties where there
    ARE no private schools? Should their public
    schools be drained of public funding?

    Government spending is wasted hurting the economy with canals
    between the Great Lakes or transcontinental railroad between
    Sacramento and St Louis.

    Not to mention the U.S. Interstates along which truckers carry goods.

    Democrats in public office are the biggest most wasteful cost.

    Dumb.

    You approve of your tax $ being used to fund transgender comic books in foreign countries?

    That's quite the leading question, bubba.

    Do you always beat your girlfriend?

    At least Biden's spending kept our economy afloat.

    Trump is spending ever more but his economy is still in the tank.

    Yep, because one thing most people can't seem to grasp is that
    government spending does NOT improve the economy in the long term.

    LOL!

    You really don't believe building the
    interstate highway system improved the economy?

    Not when Democrats claim they have to raise taxes to maintain the roads
    every year. Taxes are not forever.


    Should every road be a toll road?


    They never think through the consequences of what they say, do they?
