Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

 There is a very good reason--in fact, several hundred BILLION reasons--that the Big Central Government can be the cause-of-death to countries.

Ask the Russians how Big Central worked for them before Putin dragged the country away from total bankruptcy/chaos.  But we digress.

 

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a technical appendix to its 2015 fraud risk management guidance this month, aimed at helping federal agencies strengthen how they prevent fraud in U.S. government programs. The reason? Many still lack basic safeguards.

Previous GAO reports have revealed the extent of fraud across the federal government.

A report from 2024 showed that the U.S. loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, based on data from 2018-2022....

Call it ~$350 BILLION A YEAR

SIX YEARS.

$1.8 TRILLION

We've jokingly stated that pushing all of the D.C. metro area into the Atlantic would solve a lot of problems.

We're not wrong.
