Nickel and dimed is just an expression and if you account for inflation probably is the equivalent of 5 dollars now
You can't grasp how big these numbers are
If you save 15 million dollars every day for a year you get about 5 billion
5 billion of the $6 TRILLION spent every year is 0.09% of the total amount spent
For the next 4 years if you cut $15 million every day from somewhere its still only 0.36%. A third of a percent!
6 trillion minus 20 billion is still about 6 trillion.
That hypothetical $5 billion a year in the best case would reduce the taxes needed by 26 dollars per tax payer on average per year.
- genewitch 2y agookay now do it for these numbers from 2021-2023: > SEC. 403. Policy statement on improper payments. > (a) Findings.—The House finds the following: > (1) The Government Accountability Office defines improper payments as any reported payment that should not have been made or was made in an incorrect amount. > (2) Since 2003, improper payments have totaled $2.7 trillion with a reported Federal Government-wide error rate of 5.42 percent in fiscal year 2023. > (3) Improper payments between 2021-2023 have exceeded $750 billion and totaled more than the budget of the U.S. Army in 2023. i want you to explain to me how i don't grasp how big these numbers are, some more. I want you to explain how 79.1 billion in fraud or improper payments is "0.5%", and that's ok, and explain how ten times that amount, in 20% of the time, is ok, too. please.

I'm done with all of you. p.s., to you specifically, 6 trillion minus 350 billion is not 6 trillion.
