Bulletin: Billions in Waste Uncovered in Federal Government.

Yawwwwwwnnnn.

The government’s own sleuths reported this week they have discovered massive waste in Washington. Such as 47 job training programs, 44 of which overlap. And – surprise! – Washington runs 80 programs for the “transportation disadvantaged.”

The detectives discovered 82 programs across 10 agencies for improving teacher quality. Have you noticed how well they have been working?

They found 56 separate programs to teach us to become more financially literate. By way of 20 different agencies.

They stumbled across a few data centers. In fact, 2100 of them. (They may have missed a few.) They estimated we could save up to $200 billion over ten years if we consolidated them.

They identified 80 economic development programs, shovels at the ready.

And many of the big agencies cannot account for what they do! That is right. They spend billions. Yet they cannot tell us what their work is. And ... most of the programs for job training? They spend the billions. They train the people to train the people. But, gollee, they forget to follow up. They have no idea whether their training helped a single worker.

Yawwwnnn.
