Republicans plan to gut the GAO

[MajorRewrite]

The Government Accountability Office has saved taxpayers an average of $92 billion annually over the last six years, but House Republicans plan to gut their budget. Why would MAGAs be against cutting waste?

MAGAs hate the GAO because it puts out factual reports about the impact of MAGAs’ taxing and spending proposals. By crippling the GAO, the Republicans will be free to lie and grift to their hearts content.

Waste, fraud and abuse.

Hahaha. You libs crack me up not knowing the definition of words.
See, it's cutting gubbamint waste and abuse when a billionaire is able to doge for his company some extra cha-ching for his exploding rockets.
It's saving the taxpayer $$ by gutting the GAO and the Consumer Protection Bureau. And by saving the taxpayers $$, I mean - corporations are people too.

just dropping this here:

Wealthy Silicon Valley Investors In Line for $17 Billion Windfall in GOP Tax Bill

Taxpayers claimed $51 billion of QSBS gains in 2021, a record year for venture capital deal activity, according to a Treasury paper earlier this year, with the benefits skewed to a select group. While about 33,000 people reported QSBS to the Internal Revenue Service annually over the decade studied by Treasury, 90% of the total income went to individuals reporting more than $1 million of gains on eligible stocks.

Now the QSBS break could get even better. Though it was not addressed in previous versions of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Senate Republicans slipped into their version tweaks relaxing its complex rules. Taxpayers would be able to invest at later stages in startups and still get QSBS, cash out earlier and still get a partial benefit, and skip taxes entirely on up to 50% more of their windfalls.

With the right planning, a venture capital investor or founder can end up with hundreds of millions of dollars of tax-free income.

Critics say the QSBS provision is unnecessary and overly expensive. House Democrats proposed restricting the tax break in 2021.

and the rich will keep getting richer, the poor, poorer

meanwhile, bezos is pissing off Venetian locals with his splashy $50 million price-tag nuptials... how many people could that feed? how many jobs could that provide? how many kids could be protected against preventable diseases?

sure, he has every right to spend his cash how he wants, but don't ask me to applaud his selfish, overtly opulent display. $50 million on a wedding is, imho, simply obscene.

Maybe there is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse in the GAO itself.

The GAO has saved taxpayers $92 billion annually for 6 years.

MAGA sheep are happy to gut the office because Trump told them to be happy. Such obedient sheep!
