In light of our $38 trillion debt and the startling fraud uncovered by @nickshirleyy (just the tip of the federal-funding fraud iceberg), Congress should aggressively reform its approach to spending your money—especially as to matters that aren’t clearly within Congress’s enumerated powers
By “aggressively reform,” I mean “approach such matters with a strong presumption *against* federal funding”
Repost if you agree
@MdBreathe Praying that a hedge of protection surrounds you and that you will be exonerated on all counts. Even to the point of being promoted professionally as a leader in medicine in your state and nationally! (You already are a leader to this of us who appreciate your stand)
@DaneCurley@ThomasSowell Maybe parents fund their own children’s education? A good economy will allow parents to escape gov’t schools. Prior to the 1800’s kids were schooled or vocationally trained w/o gov’t help. Schools based on where you live is not freedom for parents to find the best for their kids.
@emeriticus@AedmarSkyjarn Most come from fatherless homes - not all, but most. Heard a sermon this morning in which the pastor gave the stats; and challenged men to stand up as good examples of Godly men the home. And to the fatherless. That is truth.
@wendyp4545 Wendy, this is actually biblical. All are created to be children of God. But it is our choice. And the Bible makes clear that those unified in faith & salvation as believers (His church), are like body parts all working together with each part carrying on an important roll.
@epaleezeldin@EPA@DOGE @eezeldin please cancel the led lightbulb hysteria and let us have healthier Incandescent bulbs in stores again! Blue light led is bad for health and dirtier to dispose of in the invironment.
May as well call us MOGE (Mississippi Office of Government Efficiency)! Here are examples of waste in state gov’t we’ve found:
⁃State agencies buying TVs for $5800
⁃Welfare money going to beauty pageants, speeding tickets for rich people, “community gardens” that never got built, etc.
⁃Medicaid paying for dead folks’ healthcare
⁃Politicians taking the state plane to out-of-state baseball games
⁃Hundreds of thousands of dollars for state employees’ cell phones that never get turned on
⁃Books for public libraries telling kids that “whiteness is a bad deal” and other crazy material
⁃Millions in education/health benefits to illegal immigrants
⁃Millions in Medicaid going to people making too much money to be on the program
⁃Millions going to DEI offices that spend money on things like social justice yoga for preschoolers (seriously)
⁃More money spent to insure state office buildings than the state of Florida pays to insure its buildings, and unused office space the state is renting
⁃Grants from the Rural Physicians Scholarship program to doctors who don’t actually serve rural areas
⁃School districts paying for multiple pieces of software that all do the same thing
⁃Bloated education administrator salaries compared to other states
⁃Career and Technical Training programs with no measurable outcomes
⁃More spending on cars for state employees than the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, or Iowa spend
⁃Taxpayer funding for college degree programs that teach trans/gender ideology
⁃Hundreds of millions in unemployment going to ineligible people
⁃The state spending more on education administration than any other state in the South
⁃…and millions embezzled from taxpayers at every level of government, and much more
We can’t always fix this stuff as auditors, but we have recovered around $75 million in misspent taxpayer funds in the last six years—more than in any other six-year period in history.
No wonder the establishment politicians want to take away our power to look for waste!
