In 2019, according to an organization called “Open the Books” our Federal Bureaucracies have
wasted $175 Billion through what Federal Law defines “Improper Payments” as “payments made
by the government to the wrong person(s), in the wrong amount(s), or for the wrong reason(s)...
that's nearly $15 billion a month, $500 million per day, or $1million per minute, every minute.
There were $871.9 million of improper payments to dead/deceased people. $8.2 billion, not million,
for improper payments to Social Security recipients; according to the Social Security files, there are
about 6,000,000 active Social Security numbers for people age 112 and over...meanwhile the World
Health Organization and Guinness Book of World Records state there are about 45 people world wide
who are 112 and over. There were about $103 billion in “improper payments” from Medicare, and
Medicaid recipients. These are the leaders of mistakes with your tax money. However in all Federal
Agencies/Bureaus combined since 2004 within or from the 20 Federal Bureaus, there was just over
$2.4 Trillion with a “T” of improper payments of your tax money which were “improperly paid out”.
Just for your reference there is 1,000, $1,000 payments in a million($1,000,00 and another 1,000,
$1,000,000 in a billion, and another 1000, $billions in a $Trillion or a $Trillion would be liked
getting a payment for $1,000 X a million= a $Trillion.
My hope is that you will write your Congressperson a long letter or at least a post card and call an
end or at least a slow-down of the bleeding due to Federal incompetency which we tax payers pay
approximately $7.4 Billion per year to employ. Also, if you can support the organization called
Open the Books. They are doing good work exposing the useless waste that federal agencies
commit yearly.
The U.S.A. now has an Oligarchy (3) Presidents:
A leaked email from an employee of a federal government agency reveals the White House is shifting toward a communication strategy that seeks to elevate Vice President Kamala Harris in all official White House business.
The directive, which an employee reports, came from a top White House communications team member and instructs all agencies to refer to the Biden administration as the “Biden-Harris Administration” in place of the “Biden Administration.”
“Please be sure to reference the current administration as the ‘Biden-Harris Administration’ in official public communications,” the directive reads, with “Biden-Harris Administration” accented in bold type.
The subtle move to diminish Biden was also reflected in the official Twitter account for the White House. The description for that account now reads, “Welcome to the Biden-Harris White House!”
Neither of the @WhiteHouse Twitter accounts from the previous two administrations mentioned the vice president in the account’s description. Under the Obama administration, the account description read, “Follow for the latest from President Obama and his administration.”
The Trump White House account description was nearly identical, reading: “Welcome to @WhiteHouse! Follow for the latest from President Donald Trump and his Administration.” Likewise, the archived versions of both accounts on Twitter cite the “Obama Administration” and “Trump Administration,” respectively, with no mention of the vice president.
The highly specific language also appears on the websites of all 15 executive departments. Press releases and other communications from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General all exclusively refer to the "Biden-Harris Administration", in lieu of only naming the president, which has been customary until now.
That language now appears to apply to all agencies that work with the federal government. The email provided to this employee who leaked this was redacted to protect the identity of the source–who requested anonymity citing fears of repercussions in the workplace–and was sent to a “bipartisan” federal agency established by Congress to deal in foreign relations and is not affiliated with the State Department.
The move raises eyebrows among those who believe President Biden is mentally unfit to serve and is being slowly pushed out and replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris. Since at least the beginning of the 2020 election cycle, and now into his first months as president, Biden has exhibited startling signs of mental decline, and possibly dementia, according to some medical experts.
In public appearances Biden often appears dazed, confused, has difficulty speaking and walking, and is rarely permitted to answer unscripted questions from journalists. He is also often accompanied by his wife, Jill Biden,PhD, who appears to frequently provide him a level cognitive support and is presumed to prompt him several times over for what he is to say, before coming out of their living quarters.
In another unprecedented move, Vice President Harris has been conducting solo phone calls with world leaders. This month, Harris spoke with the prime minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, without Biden present. Harris previously took calls alone with French President Emanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Harris also participated in the first bilateral meeting between the U.S. and Canada, an opportunity that previous vice presidents, including Biden, were not permitted.
In February, one European ambassador remarked to Politico that, “[Harris] will be seen by everyone as a potential president in waiting. Much more than in previous presidencies.”
Other critics see Harris’s elbowing into world affairs as unsettling. “World leaders expect to hear from the President of the United States, not the Vice President,” former Ambassador to Germany and former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said unto several German press agents. “There are certainly times when the Vice President has to step in but not for the introductory call.”
“The fact that the White House is instructing federal agencies to replace ‘Biden’ with ‘Biden-Harris’ after less than 60 days; in addition to, the constant presence of his wife, could very well indicative the struggle Joe Biden is already having being President,” Grenell said. “This well could be a signal that he can’t do the job alone.”
