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The insiders knew full well our tax money was being spent on programs that were no longer active.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