The Federal programs push by our representatives are chalk full of fraud. I saw the story the other day about $30 Billion lost to fraud in Kalifornia alone that was meant as Covid-19 assistance. Multiply the fraud by 50 plus the territories. Then add in all the other Federal programs that have tremendous fraud like food stamps, etc. then add in all the money sent to Ukraine and Afghanistan and other countries meant to help the people. Federal gubermint solution: print more money.

yes ...
well, the rank and file typically are not .. as they have a lot of pressure put on them to not even accept free lunches .. ( example if you are a typical worker for the Fed ) ..
the problem still is related to money and "entitlements" .. lots of incentives of Unions to keep the system corruption in place, as well as private industry which wants regulations to prevent competition and protect market share from innovators ..
corruption exists in basically all nations, some are very obvious .. and others like what you see in the USA are more subtle .. much more subtle in some cases .. thankfully due to the Pandemic more of us are seeing the numerous areas of corruption and can see who is getting the lions share of the money flow ...

I've always said "remove the money and it'll resolve 95% of the problems".
Think about all the things society argues about. It boils down to money and redistribution of wealth. Envy and jealousy is a hard thing for people to get over. Now throw in narcissistic bevavior and "I deserve" attitude then lookout.

CLOWN SHOW
Apparently the FBLie is too busy hassling parents, Catholic church members, and anyone conservative, to put any effort into catching rogue National Guard Intel punks spreading Top Secret docs all over the Interwebs for over a Year
Thankfully The NY Times took a break from TRUMPRUSSIATRUMPRUSSIA to investigate and hand over the evidence to the incompetent Feds…
Airman's Leaks Started Just 48 Hours After Russia Invaded Ukraine
www.zerohedge.com
The Pentagon's humiliation just grew deeper, as it turns out National Guard Airman Jack Teixeira's leaks of classified documents started far earlier than has previously been reported.
Tipped off about a second, 600-member Discord chat group where Teixeira also posted, the New York Times found the Massachusetts Air National Guard information technology specialist started sharing information about the war in Ukraine within 48 hours of Russia's February 2022 invasion. In contrast to the previously reported chat group, this one was far larger and was publicly listed on a YouTube channel.
This development makes the intelligence community's failure to discover the posts all the more embarrassing: The document used to criminally charge Teixeira says he started posting in December2022, but it turns out his stream of leaks spanned 13 months.
The Times matched Teixeira to the account in the newly-publicized chat room by a variety of means, including the user name, photos he posted that match known photos of his family home's interior, a reference to his birthday, and, not least, the user's declaration that he worked in an Air Force intelligence unit.
Teixeria's senior quote in the 2020 high school yearbook at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School in Massachusetts (Taunton Daily Gazette)
The posts reviewed by the Times were detailed descriptions of classified documents, with the user believed to have also posted photos of documents that have since been deleted.
Teixeira jumped into leak mode just two days after the Russian invasion, posting, “Saw a pentagon report saying that ⅓rd of the force is being used to invade." When others in the chat room questioned his information, he wrote, "I have a little more than open source info. Perks of being in a USAF intel unit.”
In a March 27, 2022 post in which he said he was citing "an NSA site," Teixeira told the group Russian forces were about to pull back from Kiev: “Some ‘big’ news. There may be a planned withdrawal of the troops west of Kiev, as in all of them.” Two days later, Russia announced it was doing just that.
“The job I have lets me get privilege’s above most intel guys,” he boasted with imperfect punctuation. When another chat participant cautioned him not to abuse those privileges, Teixeira fittingly replied, "Too late."
Teixeira was arrested on April 13 at his mother's North Dighton MA home
Teixeira appears to have made some posts while on duty at the 102nd Intelligence Wing, the unit he was assigned to at Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod. Once, he told the chat room he was about to enter a SCIF, or Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. In the aftermath of the leaks' discovery, the Air Force temporarily stripped the 102nd of its intelligence mission -- (which is pretty bad when "intelligence" is in your unit's name).
In the larger chat group that's been previously reported, Teixeira announced the end of his information-sharing services on March 19: “I was very happy and willing and enthusiastic to have covered this event for the past year and share with all of you something that not many people get to see. I’ve decided to stop with the updates.”
While establishment newspapers are eagerly beating the government to the punch at every turnin this case, the next significant drop of government information could come at a pretrial detention hearing, which on Wednesday was postponed for two weeks to May 3, at defense counsel's request.
So far, Teixeira's been charged with unlawful retention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents. Two guilty verdicts could put him in prison for up to 15 years.
In what sounds like it might just be a comically absurd attempt to portray Teixeira as a Russian asset, prosecutors this filed new information with the court, noting that he once shot a vintage Soviet pistol.
