They weren’t facing push back. They were facing backlash, not for “working on eliminating fraud”, but for lying about the amount of fraud that was taking place. It was classic propaganda - pretend there is rampant fraud, blame this non-existent rampant fraud on democrats, then paint yourself as the hero coming to save the day. This both elevates yourself as the real “man of the people” who dares to go against the grain for the good of honest working Americans, while pretending the democrats are the pro-fraud party working hard to screw you over. It’s nauseating, but with at least some it clearly works.
is your position really that wasteful spending isn't rampant in government? Also is it your position that the party who wants the government to literally do nothing is going to be as equally responsible for wasteful spending as the one who wants to increase the size and scope of government? honest questions?
It frustrating because it turns out government spending isn’t as wasteful as they’ve been propagandized to believe. Like when they fired people over at the department of energy only to realize that whoops… turns out those are the people guarding our nukes. Or when they fired all those pointless government doctors, only to find out that those people were needed to fight back against the avian flu which was sending the price of poultry and eggs soaring.
it's always been the position its better to cut too deep and make some mistakes since that is easily reversible than it is to not go deep enough considering how rare government spending cuts are. also it was a Biden official who demanded the pointless slaughter of poultry to artificially raise prices. Either that or they really were retarded enough to think that amount of extreme caution was neccessary.
Actually, what you’re calling “open borders” it turns out strengthens the social safety net. The people here illegally pay into the system but are legally prohibited from pulling from it, so unlike Americans in their comparable income brackets they’re actually a net positive.
ridiculous. Illegals can't pay taxes because employers have to pay them off the books and yet still use american resources also per the law of supply and demand artificially deflate wages while simultaneously increasing housing costs.
Due diligence is done by people. There’s always a way to improve efficiency, but the idea that the way to increase due diligence is by slashing your work force is ridiculous.
I just got my BSCIA and it involved a lot of studying computer science related topics and algorithms. Let me tell you we can simultaneously remove lazy employees and reward good ones with good pay increases while also creating computer programs to implement zero trust architecture to increase due diligence and make fraud less likely.
