I pay about 50% in taxes. These agencies are a net positive at an unjustifiably high cost. Most tax dollars are wasted/grifted.
Have you ever worked at a government contractor? Those that have will laugh at your statements here. $80 screws, $250 staplers, the list goes on. I've had n>1 friends that flipped their political alignment after seeing the sheer wastage here.
There is so much wastage and grift going on, and someone needs to come in, shock the system, and reduce it to the bare minimum.

It is truly a broken and non-functional system that cannot be repaired. I and most other Americans have totally, completely, 100% lost faith in the system. At least Musk is making progress.
