They’re worried about $10 million a year loss?

For crying out loud, the damn govt sucked up $2.4 trillion in 2006. I figure at least $800 billion of that was wasted on unneccessary junk. Point me to the press release that calls for shrinking the fed govt by 1/3 and you’ll get my attention.

The pols can distract us with with ridiculous articles about losses of $10 million/year because of the innumeracy of the population. I doubt much of the population could even tell which is larger: $10 million or $800 billion.

Number one, this is from 1999. Number two, I posted it as an example of the work that Thompson did in office, focusing on cutting waste and reducing taxes.

It’s expecting a bit much of a single senator to reduce the government drastically, I would think.

People defrauding government is of no concern to you?

To paraphrase a misquote of the late Sen. Everett McKinley Dirksen, "$10 Million here, $10 Million there; pretty soon you're talking about real money."

I think the USA should spend a BILLION on attempting to eradicate Malaria...a tropical disease. Maybe $30 billion for fighting AIDS/HIV in Africa?
