[commonsensecommentary]

“Currently, fewer than two-in-ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). This is among the lowest trust measures in nearly seven decades of polling.”

(Not a surprise, is it?)

The vast majority of civilian government employees that are military vets suffer from the Dunning-Krueger Effect.

The IRS spent billions making their new free file tool and it has less features than even Turbo Tax’s free file tool.

Your tax dollars at work.

Not only do they have a big stupid truck they probably don't need, but they got a custom wrap with fake dirt.

Fake dirt. Your tax dollars paid for fake dirt.

US has a contract with SpaceX, but Bezos wants his candy too!~

Congress is considering legislation to provide a $10 BILLION bailout to Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin space company for a contract to build a lunar lander.

This legislation is taking place after Blue Origin lost a competitive bid to SpaceX, Musk’s company.

(SO YES, WE ALREADY HAVE A COMPANY MAKING A LUNAR LANDER, IF BEZOS MAKES ONE, HOW IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH SPACEX DESIGNS? WHY ARE WE UNNECESSARILY HANDING BEZOS A SOP TO HIS EGO?)

Bezos is worth some $180billon. In a given year, he has paid nothing in federal income taxes.

He is the owner of Amazon, which, in a given year, has also paid nothing in federal income taxes after making billions in profits.

At a time when over half of the people in this country live paycheck to paycheck, when more than 70 million are uninsured or underinsured and when some 600,000 Americans are homeless, should we really be providing a multibillion-dollar taxpayer bailout for Bezos to fuel his space hobby? I don’t think so.

Please cut wasteful Pentagon spending now!

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS

887 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

I am a constituent who believes the failure to control wasteful Pentagon spending makes it harder to meet our country’s needs. The U.S. spends more on the military than any other country in the world, yet we repeatedly fail to spend the required amount of funds on food, housing, health care, and education that our communities need.

Recently, the DoD failed its audit for the sixth time in a row when it failed to account for $1.9 trillion―half its $3.8 trillion budget.

The Department of Defense is the only federal agency that has never passed a full audit and they didn’t even complete audits until 2018.

As your constituent, I am asking you to cut wasteful Defense spending in FY 2025 government funding bills.

Federal dollars that go to wasteful Department of Defense contracts are funds that do not go to meet human needs. One-third to one-half of the Pentagon budget goes to corporate military contractors that drastically price gouge the DoD by as much as 40%.

Trillions of dollars spent―and unaccounted for―undermine our security by preventing us from investing in the shared prosperity that comes from more housing, climate and public health protections, ending hunger, and more education.

Please cut wasteful Pentagon spending and invest that money in vulnerable communities.

Ten Billion Dollars For a Bag of Rocks?

Its amazing that what our government finds to spend money on. To quote the immortal PJ O’Rourke, our government spends money like third wives at Tiffany’s. Indiscriminately. Marvin Says, “Hands Off Our Rocks!” This unread blogger became aware that NASA intended to spend “just” $3 billion to send a probe to Mars, scoop up a bag of rocks, and bring it back here for study. Unfortunately, after…

Pigs at the trough. The same sad story of government waste and overspending we see every damned day. It’s so common we can’t even bother to be shocked anymore. Just sickening. And stupid. No wonder our taxes are so high and our government is so broke.
