Excerpts:
4:43:
"As many of you know, I'm from Illinois, and it's the SuperBowl of corruption... In Illinois, our #1 manufactured product is corruption..."
9:28:
"When candidate Donald Trump won for President, Here's what we found at the federal level: We did an oversight report called "Mapping The Swamp, A Study Of The Administrative State", and we found that the federal
bureaucracy is very expensive, it's $1,000,000 a minute, it's $500,000,000 dollars a day. We found a new minimum wage in 78 of the largest federal agencies, and the minimum wage, the average pay, is $100,000 today for a
federal bureaucrat.
But it's not even about the salary, they get performance bonuses! Our auditors found that the agencies gave out one million performance bonuses to bureaucrats, costing taxpayers $1.1 billion dollars! And that shocks most people, they don't know how a million federal bureaucrats can qualify for a performance bonus - most people don't think government's running that well!
So we dug deeper, and we found that 99.6 percent of the federal bureaucrats are rated "fully sucessful"! And that's actually impossible! The advertised purity
of Ivory Soap is only 99.4 percent!"
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a
regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
Mission of Open The Books: Capture & post online every dime taxed and spent at every level of government - federal, state and local across America. Simply stated, "Every Dime. Online. In Real Time."
Note to future self: I need a transcript of this man's talk... it's that good.
