I suspect you're right- Republicans are in on it too. They should be exposed and their voters can decide what to do with them.

Except for fixed price contracts with a defined scope of work, every corporation I ever worked for allows the buyer (the party paying out the $) to audit the seller.

I don't know anything about government contracting. Surely there are standard provisions allowing the government to audit to ensure part of the payment isn't being skimmed off and pocketed by thieves.

But maybe I'm giving the government too much credit.

My understanding is that very little money is alloted in gov't to audit expenses and prosecute for fraud. Remember all the Strok & Page crimes, Crossfire Hurricane, etc. No politician wants to find fraud, because they live on it.

Oh, the tangled web they have woven!! Most of us, I'm sure, aren't wanting to wait while it gets untangled. We want a ROCK thrown thru and many spiders taken out with it! I sure don't want babies tossed with the dirty water, tho.

I just keep trying to remember the day our then nominee was almost eliminated. There, in my mind, is a good, strong reason that did not happen. Please, put on your prayer cap, your positive wave beanie, your Can Do hat. Remind those in "the swamp" we will Not put up with grifting anymore!! Maybe there will be a "Clean Up Your Congressional Act Act" created. Should We the People demand it? Those DOGE computers don't care who/what you are, they will run a program as commanded.
