White House Knows How To Waste Taxpayer Funds
[From article]
“Nobody knows exactly how much taxpayer money is wasted through improper payments, but the federal government’s own astounding estimate is more than half a trillion dollars over the past five years,” said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. “The fact is, improper payments are staggeringly high in programs designed to help those most in need — children, seniors and low-income families.”
[. . .]
The amount of improper payments has steadily dropped since 2010, when it peaked at $121 billion.
