Doesn’t the govt lose large amounts of money to various fraud schemes? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1279664 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna127966

  Yes, by underfunding auditers and accountability. Or throwing out money without any sense of accounting. Yes, fraudsters will take full advantage of it. Your example shows why we need more auditers and more frequent auditing, not less.

    > Your example shows why we need more auditers and more frequent auditing, not less. Yes more auditors for govt. Not more govt. auditors for business. More auditing != govt auditing of private business There is a jump of logic there to go from left to right of the equation.

      > Yes more auditors for govt. Not more govt. auditors for business. It was your example. Explain then the point of your example, beyond “see, government must be incompetent.” Because I see a leap of logic in saying “government (org) +government (audit)” incompetence implies “private (org) + goverment (audit)” incompetence. Nevermind that all nuance was stripped away in making a one-liner.
