Tag: government waste

A new Gallup poll finds, on average, Americans believe 51 cents out of every dollar the federal government spends is wasted, a new high since the question was first asked in 1979.

When was the last time you heard a politician campaign on promises of cutting government waste? When was the last time those promises turned out to be empty? When was the last time waste turned out to mean schools and health care? Maybe it is different this time.
