Have you ever stopped to ask where nearly a quarter of your tax dollars is really going? Recent estimates hint that somewhere between 23.87% and 25% of the Treasury’s budget might be vanishing into a vortex of fraud and waste. That’s not mere mismanagement—it’s a systemic drain on your hard-earned money.
And why is the entire DC swamp, along with the mainstream media, scrambling to hush up what the DOGE team is laying bare? It’s almost as if they’re terrified that the truth might burst forth and expose the rot at the core of our government.
In a move that defies common sense, Congress has reportedly funneled a jaw-dropping $516 billion into programs whose authorizations expired decades ago—some dating back over 40 years. And it doesn’t stop there: another 251 authorizations are set to expire this year, including a staggering $892 billion earmarked for defense spending. Instead of tightening the reins, lawmakers keep writing blank checks, ignoring every rule meant to stop this bleeding of public funds. This isn’t governance—it’s outright corruption.

That number sounds low to me. Wait till they get to defense procurement and civilian hiring. I am going to guess those numbers are going to go way way way up. Remember Elon took on the space launch business and has reduced launch to orbit costs by an order of magnitude. You think the Boeings and ULAs are doing any better in any other part of their defense portfolio. And the bloat comes because of excess employees on the gubmint side driving requirements driving the need for useless bureaucrats on the contractor side. It's probably a 1 for 10 multiplier.
And yet we have some little “judge” in New York telling the Secretary of the Treasury that he can’t access the financial records of the United States and that he should destroy all evidence of fraud the Doge team found.
Name the Congress Critter who proposed this spending. Get all of them.
Soon the payments and contracts will be irrefutably tied to Act-Blue kickbacks. It’s going to get even more interesting.
If there’s fraud going on at Treasury then the Judge just included himself in it
BTTT
Maybe ALL this fraud is INTENTIONALLY buried in the annual bills that are thousands of pages long.
WHY are congressional bills so many pages unless they are INTENTIONALLY hiding FRAUD??
The MSM needs to ask them precisely what is it that you object to with regard to USAID cutbacks. They always try to tug at your heartstrings by saying children will die without the money. Are they referring to the $1.5M earmarked for transgender surgeries? Or the payments to a LBGTQ group for dance classes? Even further, why is it the US taxpayers' obligation for any of this. Let them solve their own problems.
Hello Pam Bondi, time to take down a stupid judge in New York!
“No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law, and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.”
ARTICLE I, SECTION 9.
They’re not actually stealing from my check. They are borrowing it, so it will have to be paid later.
It’s criminal.
Nope
“””Recent estimates hint that somewhere between 23.87% and 25% of the Treasury’s budget might be vanishing into a vortex of fraud and waste.”””
Elon’s exact 23.87% reminds me of how Mr Spock would have answered Captain Kirk.
***“No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law, and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.”

Article 2 Section 3 -— “he (President) shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”
“Take care” are two very powerful words.
Yep and going straight to their bank account. Both parties on the Hill are effing corrupt to their eyeballs. Just remember how they did the American people one week before the so-called government shut down. They push down our throats a 5000 page bill the night before they voted on it. You would think alarm bells would gone off but instead they turned a blind eye and passed it anyway. To the delight of the corrupt DC swamp. Millions of laundered dollars went into their bank account. Let that sink in. While you and your family were rationing your lifestyle they were living it up on your dime. They’re evil …SOB’s are EVIL!
Of course they are.
Tell your kids that. Sorry, my generation spent all of the money. Your taxes will pay interest and there is nothing left for Social Security or Medicare.

That’s not a great mystery. Of every “aid” check the gummint writes, the system is programmed to shunt a large % of that money back to congress’ secret coffers. And be not mistaken; BOTH parties are in on the steal. That’s why if anyone questions why these old aid checks aren’t stopped, some Pubbies scream louder than some Rats do. God bless Elon Musk and his merry band of young patriots. And God bless POTUS Trump who put them to work!
