Government agencies always tell congress that prosecuting or otherwise reining in waste, fraud, and program abuse would be cost prohibitive due to attorney fees and lost man-hours due to assigning vast numbers of government personnel to enforcement efforts where the database of offenders is massive. The IRS uses this argument to perpetrate the continued theft of social security numbers by illegal aliens, refusing to prosecute even when it is presented with conclusive evidence of the dollars lost paying out fraudulent refunds, arguing it is cheaper to just pay the criminals the money than it would be to prosecute them. These refusals to enforce standing law are pure excursions into Orwellian dyslogic and are seditious in the extreme, justifying illegality on the basis of a cost/ benefit analysis.
As long as campaign financing is the conduit of graft and bribery things aren’t going to change.
