The Conservatives have the right idea CUT GOV WASTEFUL spending. CUT programs that are useless we all know that once the gov sets up something it is forever there. That needs to stop. It is helped by career politicians that dont overlook anything just get new ideas and add on to and around what is there and that is never so apparent as what is in this report.
These are just a few of the findings in a
blockbuster report on government waste and inefficiencies released by the nonpartisan
Government Accountability Office. The report, a summary of which was obtained by Fox News, identifies billions of dollars in potential savings if Congress just had the will to streamline initiatives that target politically popular causes.
"This report confirms what most Americans assume about their government. We are spending trillions of dollars every year and nobody knows what we are doing. The
[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]executive[/color][/color] branch doesn't know. The congressional branch doesn't know. Nobody knows," Sen.
Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said in a statement Tuesday morning. "This report also shows we could save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year without cutting services."
Twenty programs across seven agencies dealing with homelessness. The report found $2.9 billion spent on the programs in 2009. "Congress is often to blame" for fragmentation, GAO wrote in this section, explaining that the duplicative programs in multiple agencies cause access problems for potential participants. Fifteen agencies administering 30 food-related laws. "Some of the oversight doesn't make any sense," the report stated bluntly.
