Would normally agree, but the waste fraud and abuse is so glaring and massive, much of it needs little investigation. Sat next to an FBI agent on a plane one time, for a long flight. He had been working 9/11 for years. He noted 9/11 happened because so few people could ever imagine anyone flying planes into buildings, no one ever gave any thought to preventing it.

That is how I feel about the last few weeks. Many of us have Poli Sci and law degrees, which should make us a bit better informed, then the public, at large. Still most cannot conceive of the waste revealed in the last 21 days. The programs themselves are nearly unimaginable, but the scope is the real problem. Dems will argue it is a tiny portion of the budget. That is insulting, in a nation where 1/2 of families live on $75K a year or less, and 40% of those, live on less than $45K.

Slow the reviews, and waste and fraud will be hidden, and we will physically, be unable to review everything. Programs that are wrongly ended, can be restarted. Parts of programs, that are worthwhile, can be rerouted. The main issue is not terminating federal employees or even the money saved. Americans must know, in detail, where and how their tax dollars are being spent.
