AND Republicans.  This is not on the Dems exclusively.  This is on every politician sent to Washington in the past 50 years or more.  Every damn one.  And it is on the media for not being our watchdogs and reporting about all of this nonsense.  

For our colleague whose defense is "it isn't fraud":  It might not be fraud in the legal sense of the word but it also was not anything those who want it would advertise and exclaim proudly to all the American people that they were doing with our federal budget - 30% of which is borrowed and payable by our grandchildren.  

Democracy dies in darkness exclaims the banner on one of our countries "main" newspapers.  That particular newspaper was part of the vast network casting the shawdows creating all of the darkness aroiund USAID and the soon be revealed other government mis-spending of my money and my grandchildren's future earnings.

Great show.  Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers.  Whatever you do don't drive like my brother.  And their credits at the end.  Their lawyers:  Dewey Cheetam, and Howe.  Their statician:  Marge Innovera.

Yep, the Tappet Bros were the funniest show, laughing at their own jokes was hilarious.

They were funny and usually spot on.   A few times the chumps were stumped and they played those as well.

The dems and media and all who want to control the narrative talk about mis-information and dis-information.  I now think we can dub all that DOGE is revealing as mis-spending (things not helpful to current and future Americans) and, even more sinister, dis-spending (things actually harmful to current and future Americans).

A balanced budget amendment and the line item veto are desperately needed to protect us from Congress - and to protect Congress from itself.  And the DOGE function is desperately needed to protect us from the Deep State "interpreting" the best use of vague Congressional funding direction.  IGs, Congressional Budget Offices, Waste/Fraud/and Abuse lines, Whistleblowers, and other foxes watching the henhouse have spectacularly failed serving the American citizens.

fair enough. but there's one party rn that's trying to curtail some of it while the other is having a temper tantrum about something that shouldn't be partisan (or confusing)

Chelsea Clinton receives an annually-recurring funding from USAID, allocated by Obama for her Foundation, which provides afternoon meals to children in Africa, India, and Bangladesh. However, as of today, the reported number of meals served stands at 11,886, implying an astonishing cost of $1,410 per meal. Net Worth $70 Million Husband Net Worth $45 Million Inheritance $52 million USAID Earnings $3.9 Million per year Real Estate Assets $25 million Monthly Spends $100,000 Car Collection Eight Has accomplished nothing.

Wouldn’t be great if someone like Chelsea Clinton felt bad and gave some money back?

Pay her share of taxes maybe.

dems allowed all this fraud/waste/garbage/bs to happen and fester out of control.
including people like you. you (and your complicity, stupidity, and naivety) caused this stuff.
but you still don't get it, and are lying and making excuses still till this day. 

A spending bill that allocates money for X, Y and Z that is signed into law is just that: a law.

The president, as the head of the executive branch, is supposed to be in charge of executing the law.

Are you admitting that you don’t understand how government spending works?

If the government (House, Senate, President) collectively vote on and sign a bill into law, and it says we have to buy $1,000,000,000 of candy corn and send it to the UK each year, that’s the law. The next president doesn’t get to unilaterally decide to end that. Congress (House, Senate) have to vote to repeal it and the President has to sign THAT bill into law to repeal it.

Do you seriously believe that Congress spelled out in a law that money should be spent on Politico subscriptions and condoms for radical islamists?

No - because that's a pile of BS you've just posted. 

Stop getting your news from facebook or wherever the heck you get it from

It's a mystery as to why dummies around here keep getting suckered by such dumb internet hoaxes.

So where did congress spell out that money to go to.  Did it go there.  And what’s your thoughts on that?

I’m going to blow your mind:

They authorize discretionary funds for them.

Just like military units have funds that they can use for a wide variety of purposes. Recreation, for example.

Surely this isn’t a surprise to you?

My thoughts are:

Sounds like you have questions - good homework for you. Use google, go find out. And then report back.

Make yourself useful and find the answers to your questions.

Your words, your example, was a bill, signed into law, that required 1bil sent to the UK for candy corn.  When Congress allocates money for executive branch agencies it is to be used in accordance with the President’s policy and within U.S. law.
