    Federal Government Waste Exploded Under Obama, Data Show


    A federal website called Payment Accuracy
    Last year, the government made $126 billion in overpayments, nearly double the amount of made in President Bush's last year.
    Improper payments in Medicare, for example, went from $10 billion in 2008 to $43 billion last year; and for Medicaid, the figured jumped from $19 billion to $29 billion.
    The Payment Accuracy site notes that the government also underpaid by $11 billion last year. Still, at $115 billion, the net overpayment just in 2015 is massive.

        the waste in government started WAY before Trump.. hell even before Reagan.

        The dims were bitching when Trump cut a lot of the 'double coverage' in Fed Depts when he first took office.

        it's not on the Trump admin but ALL past admins that let the government grow without pulling in the reigns.

          The criticism that the tax payments of the rich would fall under ERTA was based on a static conception of human behavior. As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid. Unfortunately, estimates of ERTA byDemocrat-controlled CBO continued to show falling tax payment by upper income taxpayers, even after actual IRS data had become available showing a surge of income tax payments by affluent taxpayers.

          The 1% Pay 37% of Federal Income Taxes – AIER

          How many people get hired by a poor man/bum? Besides the rich that make LARGE Donations to non-profits and charities/foundations get to write that money off of their taxes. You can get your money back for making contributions to Shriners .. Make a Wish .. Jerries Kids.. St Judes .. even you local church if they sponsor missions in foreign lands.

          Sorry but those are tax brakes that everyone can take.. as long as you have the funds to do so. The larger the donation, the larger the tax break.

          and vise versa.. if you are poor, destitute, down trodden, there are a plethora of programs you can sign up for.. like furthering your education either up in your field.. or totally switching fields.

            C-SPAN suspends Steve Scully indefinitely after he admits he lied about his Twitter being hacked


            Scully was set to moderate the now-canceled second presidential debate



            C-SPAN announced Thursday it had suspended political editor Steve Scully indefinitely after he admitted he lied that his Twitter account was hacked after a message to former Trump aide-turned-adversary Anthony Scaramucci emerged.

            Scully, the "Washington Journal" host who was slated to moderate the now-canceled town hall debate between president Trump and Joe Biden, went viral last week after a tweet sent from his account indicated he had reached out to the former White House communications director.
            Scully issued his first statement addressing the controversy to CNN following his suspension.
            "For several weeks, I was subjected to relentless criticism on social media and in conservative news outlets regarding my role as moderator for the second presidential debate, including attacks aimed directly at my family," Scully wrote. "This culminated on Thursday, October 8th when I heard President Trump go on national television twice and falsely attack me by name. Out of frustration, I sent a brief tweet addressed to Anthony Scaramucci. The next morning when I saw that this tweet had created a controversy, I falsely claimed that my Twitter account had been hacked."

              Jim Acosta Accidentally Admits CNN 'Sucks' in Pathetic Comeback Attempt

              heckle and hector White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany with stupid questions one too many times.
              Acosta may be in the habit of engaging in self-aggrandizing confrontationshuge, clunky maskDonald Trumppolitical Achilles heel.
              To that end, Acosta tweeted photos to shame all of the naked faces he spied at the rally, and more than one Twitter user replied with a photo of a mask-less Acosta in the thick of the crowd.


              By now, the jig is up and everyone has caught on to CNN and its ilk for their left-wing bias, which is why those chants have been a regular feature(if even that many)coronavirus diagnosesOrlando Sentineland so does CNN.

                The BBC an anti Trump organization funded by the Brits has decided to put up amonst others a video explaining how Americans can spot fake news,
                US election 2020: How to spot disinformation - BBC News - YouTube

                It would seem the media in English speaking countries is going mad to try to prevent Trump 2020

                I might have posted this somewhere else but since I hate the BBC this thread seemed most appropiate.

                    It may be true that some of the MSM news sources lean either a little left or right, but the sources you constantly quote are mostly far right conspiracy theory generators.

                        I did away with by FB and Twitter accounts. I've had enough.

                        I don't know what pisses me off more....the fact that the media is extremely biased or that liberals try to tell me that they're not.

                                stop with the PROJECTS shit... all the votes haven't been counted and the are MANY problems with this election... 3 states issued the wrong type pens to mark the ballot with... those ballots have been voided.... thousands of voters here in NC voted early/in person and their votes have NOT been recorded ...and I only speak for the districts around the Raleigh area

                                too many instances of hinky shit going on throughout the USA.

                                MI is going to have to recount.. among other states as well.

                                CNN has/is/will always lie.
