Obviously, wasteful spending and mismanagment of tax dollars occurs.
However, a lot of good honest hard working men and women work in all
areas of the United States Federal Government. These honest hard working
men and women are very skilled in budget and finance and are doing an
excellent job managing tax dollars to keep America strong. Despite all
faults and flaws, the American system of Government is a model system
that has withstood the test of time.
