    The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars

    Boss just agreed to give $300,000,000,000 to Iran for his distraction war in addition to the costs of running it. You have no place to talk about acting in the public interest.

    It’s not even federal money. You pay unemployment insurance to your state out of your paycheck. If he does this and you lose your job. They money you paid in won’t be available to you.

      That was their own money in impound. Trump is just giving it back. Like Obama was doing before Trump screwed it up.

    This department is no longer afraid to use every lever available to ensure taxpayer money is protected.

    Funny, cause none of the rich cishet white male Christian oligarchs who would benefit from these cuts actually pay taxes.

    Rules for thee, not for me.
