@thendrix @sun i'm sure there's some of that to be found but a lot of the "fraud" found out by musk is just "stuff that elon musk's inner circle personally has a problem with/doesn't understand why it's there" -

@jeffcliff @thendrix I had this discussion with some friends recently. It's somewhat dishonest for musk and trump to claim some of this is waste when really it's just stuff they don't want to spend money on, but to be fair if you told some of this stuff to normal people they wouldn't want their money spent on colombian trans rock operas or whatever either -

@jeffcliff @thendrix there are a fair number of people that would never agree to it even if you could explain it -

yeah this is basically what's happening
is there's a whooole bunch of stuff that the US government is spending money on that would take time to explain to someone and possibly some economics/other stuff to explain it but ...normal people ain't got time for that so will just make snap-judgements about it -

@sun @jeffcliff @thendrix if you have to (((explain it))) then i know its a scam
there's no justification for bleeding tax money, none
we dont fucking care about the rest of the world and obviously we absolutely can't afford it
also jeff you're not american and your opinion doesn't matter, why dont you focus on your own government's fraud, that's why they're scrambling to delete records but you're too much of a pop culture garbage following whore to notice

@griffith @jeffcliff @thendrix I hope they are saving that for last but lets be honest here, the pentagon is not going to get real scrutiny under any administration -

@sun @jeffcliff @thendrix Fair. They probably are finding a lot of that in the Medicare/medicaid section. It’ll be fun when they get to the Pentagon.
