Your Tax Dollars at Work
The U.S. government wastes billions of taxpayer dollars every year.
Nothing New
Improper payments, which refers to erroneous government disbursements, pose a significant financial burden on the United States.
$247 billion in 2022, according to the Government Accountability Office.
The U.S. government has lost almost $2.4 trillion by GAO estimates in simple payment errors over the last 20 years.
“The government has just lost, as if you dropped it on the sidewalk, trillions and trillions of dollars over the last few decades,” said Richard Stern, a budget and spending expert from the Heritage Foundation. “That is money that was stolen from hardworking Americans to just simply get wasted.”
Oh…but that’s not all.
Oversight reports from nonprofits and lawmakers like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., claim billions more are being wasted every year — from spending $1.7 billion maintaining empty government buildings to accidentally investing $28 million on forest camouflage uniforms to be used in the deserts of Afghanistan.
Hey you… The guy that ordered the wrong uniforms from China. You’re fired and give back your commission!

Duplicated programs are another cause for concern.
“The Government Accountability Office every year issues a report on duplicative and overlapping programs and every year they find more and more of these programs,” according to Tom Schatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste.
The problems mainly stem from the way our government tries to solve an issue, according to critics.
“In the federal government, everything is ‘Go spend more money’ and if that doesn’t work, it’s ‘Go spend more money.’”
