Democratic governance is fundamentally prone to creating systems where waste, fraud, and abuse are inherent features rather than bugs.

“Democrats build systems where waste, fraud, and abuse, that's the feature, not the bug. They love stealing money from some and giving it to others, all to make people more dependent on the government more broadly while blaming the free markets.”

Government entities should undergo forensic audits to eliminate wasteful spending.

“you kind of go through every line by line to see what's going on that's exactly what's going on right now they're assuming this was never going to happen”

The U.S. federal government contains significant waste, fraud, and abuse that can only be addressed by shutting down failing agencies and building fresh, efficient institutions.

“none of us could have imagined is first of all this awareness that you can't really reform institutions when in there's people talk about that but really you have to just shut them down and build something fresh”
