Come on everybody, how fast can we get this thread to 100 pages? I think this is a very worthy and important thread for transparency and having an open and fair government. In fact, it will be the only thread I will be posting in going forward.

One should assume the "catch rate" involving some the waste/fraud/abuse is merely a fraction of the actual waste/fraud/abuse. There's probably a worse catch rate on these things than the St. Louis city homicide conviction rate.

More PPP (man, this is going to be like a second job).

Charter school fraud. Public schools will have their very own section later.

Good luck getting right wingers to care about big fraud like this as long as the perpetrators are who they are.

FL Sen Rick Scott perfected Medicare fraud and got elected to the Senate. But he's not "urban" enough for LHA to care.

Wrong again Jack. There will be plenty of corporate/government fraud and abuse on the way!

A simple statement proven true by the existence of billionaires.

Looting the public treasury is a bipartisan affair. Our military looks increasingly like a paper tiger who's real purpose is to enrich insiders.

From the government's perspective, "waste" is any money that goes to workers. A waste-free government would be 100% kickbacks.

I just don't have time to document the corruption and fraud. Maybe someone can do a Twitter.
Maybe someone can delete this thread…
