“my proposal includes selling off thousands of vacant and underutilized buildings; auditing the IRS to fire the thousands of employees who owe tens of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes; pulling the plug on Biden's billion-dollar boondoggles for gravy trains that never leave the station and electric vehicle stations that aren't charging up anything but debt; bagging the swag and propaganda promoting government programs and Agencies at a cost of $1.5 billion a year; and changing the composition of coins so we stop losing money making money. In fact, there is no better example of the cost of government inefficiency. Washington spends 3 cents to produce a penny and 11 cents to produce a nickel. That makes no sense. A penny here, a nickel there--eventually, these examples all add up to millions, billions, and eventually, trillions. The bottom line is that if you can't find waste in Washington, there can only be one reason: You didn't look. Well, folks, I spent the last decade looking while just about everyone else seems to have been looking the other way--until now. While this is a personal issue for me, it should not be a partisan issue. After all, every American benefits from a more efficient government, and everyone loses when tax dollars are wasted.…”
