Witness CONFIRMS families of politicians are financially benefiting from leasing buildings to the Federal Government

Immediate Family Members is one group that is profiting from US Government Contracts, but there are also MANY close associates, business partners, and supporters of these politicians who win no-bid or sole source contracts and then give kickbacks to the Congressman or Senator or other Politico. Elon Musk's efforts so far have NOT produced the BIG fraud, waste and abuse. I am positive that there is close to $4 Trillion in fraud, waste and abuse spending within the $7 Trillion Federal Budget. Think about this: Federal Spending increased from 1990 ($1.253T) to 2000 ($1.789T) by $536B or 43%, then increased by 2010 to $3.457T or 93% (this included the Bail-Out of the Banks in 2009/10 which caused a $535B increse in one year), then by 2020 to $6.554T or $3.097T / 90% increase (this included the $2.107T single year increase for COVID in 2020), then, by 2024 to $6.800T or $3.703T / 120% increase in just four years. That is an average increase of 13% increase per year over the last 34 years while inflation over that same period has averaged around 3% per year, a 10% differential. Just the Bank Bail-outs of 2009/10 and COVID, both supposedly one-time expenditures equals $2.642T of this increase. The bare minimum of what DOGE should find to cut is $2.642 TRILLION. If we look back over time before the insanity of Federal Budgets and Spending in the 21st Century, Federal Spending should only rise by around 4.3% per year. If that norm is applied Federal Spending for 2024 should have been around $3.1T, NOT $6.8T. The US Government is over-spending by around $3.7T per year at this point.

Imagine if President Trump or any of his family members ahd abused their power for their personal benefit. The fake news would be all over it.

NO MAGICIAN COULD CONTRIVE THE INNUMERABLE MULTITUDE OF MONEY GRABBING $$$$TUNT$$$$ GENERATED BY THE LIBERAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. WE WOULD BE ASTOUNDED AT THE MAGNITUDE OF A WORLD WIDE PEACE THEY COULD DEVELOP IF THEY WOULD CONCENTRATE SIMILAR ENERGIES THERE.
