Let us pretend that USAID, for example, gave 90 million
dollars to support homeless shelters for trans teens in
El Salvador and you feel that that is an example of
government waste. But how could you actually tell whether it is
waste or not just because the premise seems wacky? Like with
TV and movies, premise is easy, it's what you actually do
and not what you said you intend to do that counts.

Well, if the money was appropriated for homeless shelters for trans
teens in El Salvador and you spend it on homeless shelters for trans
teens in El Salvador, then that's prima facie waste since American
taxpayers have no business funding homeless shelters for trans teens
in El Salvador.

Why are you so intently trying to rationalize gubberment waste and fraud?

Does an irrational hatred of Donal Trump have anything to do with it?
