There ARE good people in the government who want to eliminate fraud & waste.

Amazingly, Leland was fired by Social Security Administration upper management for helping @DOGE find taxpayer savings. Can you believe that??

Thanks to President Trump, Leland was brought back right away and now HE is upper management šŸ˜Ž

Promote good players, exit bad players. That’s the right thing to do.

Two thumbs up. As anybody started looking into that 45,000 Feddies who don’t pay taxes or was that just a rumor?

“Too bad the MSM will never report it.”

As far as many are concerned, FR and similar sites ARE the MSM!

50 millions in back taxes are owed by IRS employees. I read this yesterday. How many employees, was not mentioned.

I wonder if all the "government work bad" proponents here on FR will eat a little humble pie.

Nah, I didn't think so either.

Elon Musk reposted this to his 226 millions followers. Many of those followers did what I did and got more eyes on it.

CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN have a combined nightly news viewership of under 20 million. The MSM no longer really count when they are telling provable lies.

By Jerry Pournelle

ā€œPournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of peopleā€:

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.ā€

PAGING ELON MUSK:

THERE SHOULD BE A MATCH BETWEEN THOSE WHO TOOK THE BUYOUT WITH MONTHS OF PAY VS WHO OWES BACK TAXES.

Remove the amount owed to the government in taxes due before they are paid the “buyout” money. What pathetic criminals.

Mr. President Let’s have a presidential E.O. restricting government employment to citizens and legal residents.

And extend that requirement to every organization, business and contractor and receiving government money in any form, subsidies, grants, contracts, purchases, etc.

For one thing, that should get a lot of leftist universities off the taxpayer teat.
