“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
There is now over $35 trillion in deficits piled up and counting. How much of that is waste, fraud, corruption and abuse? My estimate would be $10-15 trillion as the spendthrift government has no accountability to anyone.
Take the pentagon...the recent audit comes up about $825 billion short. If you divide that number by 100,000 employees/beneficiaries/thieves and the like, it equates to over $8 million per thief. That's tax free free money for thousands and who can resist that when there are absolutely no consequences for stealing it?
