@KDKA I honestly don't understand. If (a) sending in the NG is bad, but (b) reducing crime is good, then why doesn't the city/state do what is takes to reduce crime? Why wait (and fight) the President - just do it yourself. What is holding us back from just fixing the problem?
@Squil_Mama I generally love George Carlin, but this is one of the dumbest ideas he has ever promoted. Have you ever been in a position to hire? At any level of organization? The LAST thing you want is dumb applicants.
WHO IS WITH ME ?
I hereby grant Elon Musk and his team permission to audit my tax dollar spending by the Government and ALL agencies formed by it.

There you go Democrats, He works for me now.
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!
- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!
Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.
When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!
This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.
