Is there a difference when it comes to the taxpayer?
It's all waste. Fraud if there were kickbacks, we'll see about that.
Maybe there is no difference, but I think honest framing matters.
> "Fraud has already been posted everywhere ($55b and counting)"
I'm looking for some evidence to support your $55 billion fraud claim, not just $55 billion in waste. If it's been "posted everywhere", please link to it!
> just $55 billion in waste
"Just" lol. After a month.
Replace the fraud w/ waste if that makes you feel better about the audit.
I'm sure investigations will reveal fraud, it takes awhile to build a case.
But even if there is zero fraud (fat chance), gotta love the savings from waste cuts!
