My point was, we cannot believe anything we are told, or anything we read. I was proposing the idea that impartial, non-.gov connected, annual audits as part of the budgeting process. If a department is allocated ten billion dollars, every dollar of that should be able to be traced. It is done in every other organization, and could be done with .gov. If people really were concerned about 5he spending, a process to do this type of audit can be developed.

How do we know where any funds are actually spent? The "left" is saying that they didn't do it, but Trump administration did. We should have impartial audits done to prove just what is spent, and where. The biden group is denying that they spent the money, but saying that the Trump admin spent it on migrants. We can only believe what our side says about anything, and I'm not sure about that a lor of the time.
Trump left office 3.5 years ago. Three government budgets have been passed since that allocates the money to FEMA.
FEMA flat out spent the money on illegals leaving Americans in peril.
At the same time billions are being sent to Ukraine and Israel and Iran.
Trump had absolutely zero to do with the FEMA money shortage.

There are audits. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is tasked with auditing the budgets passed by congress.
They publish their findings annually which are promptly shoved under the table.

The GAO actually does their job. Nobody is ever punished for their findings.
This is the root of the problem. We have no way to make bureaucrats afraid to waste our money. We need to make them lie awake at night wondering if they’ll be the next one going to prison for their crimes. 😡

Instead of taxation without representation it's definitely taxation with plenty of misappropriation. At some point, we're all going to just have to turn off the govs income until they can do it right.......
I agree, you can lead and stop paying federal taxes. lol No seriously, whats the solution to get this done besides vote?

I was listening to talk radio this morning -- they suggested that the Biden/Harris admin was purposefully slowing down relief efforts in the area because it is heavily red and would reduce Republican turnout in a battleground state.
