I didn't know about that story, but I googled it, and wow, there are a lot of articles about it. So that's not something that neither Biden nor congress can hide from (unless Zelenky is lying.) Either way, the lesson is let other countries support their own wars. Hopefully the thick headed community figures that out.

That's like nothing though. I want the 175 billion back!

That's a good point. When we call it "waste" we're putting a flowery word in their mouths. They should say "intentionally misplaced."

Someone told me a few years ago that the reason why they get paid such high salaries is to discourage them from taking bribes. But I don't think that plan was smart and it's definitely not working.

Hopefully DOGE will determine that congress is being paid too much for the amount of work being performed, or for the amount of qualifications required of them. They don't deserve $250k per year while people of the same educational background are driving plow trucks.
