The faces of these people show they full well knew what was going on all these years

Yet they get re-elected by a brainwashed, deluded electorate. McConnell is a treasonous, Trump-hating RINO

.

An explosive report has revealed just how deep the abuse of the government purse goes.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report that went viral this weekend.

The report detailed that the federal government spent over half a trillion dollars on programs that expired last year without ever actually authorizing the funding.

About 2,500 expired appropriations made up the $516 billion. That is no way to run a government.

The insiders knew full well our tax money was being spent on programs that were no longer active.

Largely Democrats were acting as if the programs had not expired, and continued to appropriate taxpayer funds to run them and distribute those funds to favored groups within their districts; an annual $500 billion slush fund!

It is off-the-charts crazy that those funds were solemnly included as part of Continuing Resolutions, CRs.

It is incredibly this went on for so many years without whistleblowers alerting us about it.

If they did, the corrupt Corporate Media, receiving their own federal subsidies via USAID, were absolutely not reporting on this gross malfeasance.

Why was the CBO not making a lot of noise about this?
The CBO career bureaucrats likely knew what was going on and did not utter a peep, and neither did the recipients of the program funds. Everything wason the QT.

From the CBO: “CBO identified 1,264 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2024 and 251 authorizations of appropriations that were set to expire by the end of fiscal year 2024.

.

“CBO estimates that $516 billion was appropriated for 2024 for activities with expired authorizations, which the agency identified for each House and Senate authorizing committee (Table 1) and appropriations subcommittee (Table 2).”

24 laws were responsible for $470 billion of the $516 billion in total funding for expired authorizations that the CBO identified. 21 of those 24 laws also accounted for most of the funding in 2023 for expired authorizations.

Some of these laws date back to 40 YEARS AGO.

Here’s the list:

The news gets worse, though. Even more authorizations are set to expire this year, including $892 billion in defense spending.

Upon hearing the news of the massive government corruption, Musk responded with a raised eye emoji.

With this type of irresponsible governing, is there any wonder why the Democrats and the Deep State swamp are so scared of DOGE and Elon Musk? He is about to take away their decades of gravy train

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
