Yeah, right. I guess they have a different definition of “improper” than I do.
ALL the monies that go to foreign aid, illegal aliens, dumb-ass renewable energy subsides, and all welfare without work requirements, these are all improper to me. Not to mention 90% of all government programs and two thirds of all government employees.
There are no fiscal hawks in Congress anymore; the Club for Growth, Freedom Caucus and whatever is left of the Tea Party, they have all surrendered and gone home.
The swamp takes their skim. Don’t expect.any chamges unless Trump wins.
