Most of these far right wingers are ignorant about these issues,
except for those beholden to large corporations, and private equity,
who want to get their dirty little hands those tens of thousands of tax
dollars being saved. After all, how can they pay the bribes.... erm, I
mean contributions to their pet far right wing republicans?
You see.... it is whether or not there is fraud, or waste itself, that bothers them.
Rather, it is the idea that they are not capitalizing on that fraud or waste, themselves....
like they do in their private businesses. If you think this is just partisan politics...

She also ordered her top aides to create fake official work trips to justify travel that was actually for personal reasons including to go on rendezvous with a staffer she reportedly had an extramarital affair with and to visit family and friends on the taxpayer's dime.
