"The beautiful thing about payment systems," noted a transition official watching their screens, "is that they don't lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail."
That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.
By 6 AM, Treasury's career officials began arriving for work. They found systems they thought impenetrable already mapped. Networks they believed hidden already exposed. Power structures built over decades revealed in hours.
Yeah. That is amazing. I still dont fully understand how an algorithm exposing the left's corruption can get potholes filled in Ohio.
I can imagine one way it might work out: if government starts focusing on its core obligations again because of the removal of corrupt & wasteful systems then those things will get done. Even filling potholes.
The only way this helps on Main Street IF it allows more money to flow to the State and Locals faster. Even then we are talking the Interstate system, the NHS and State roads. Your local potholes are locally funded.
Bottomline, the money has to get there to be used. The Feds role is funding, not doing.
Yes I realize that. But the federal government is involved in everything and they mess up everything they touch.
If the feds only did what the constitution authorized (meaning only a fraction of what they do now), they would also need to lose much of their funding (a good reason to get rid of the income tax, if possible). By default, those tasks would revolve back to the states along with the funds. The states could then do their jobs more effectively without someone in Washington interfering and the people would be better able to hold them accountable for their failures.
I also realize that it all works in an ideal system but that's not reality is. I still believe things would be better off if we followed the constitution, all of it including the 9th & 10th amendments. The federal govt is a corrupt & incompetent leviathan. Instead of serving the people, it's reason to exist, it tries to rule over us. That explains 90% of its failures.
