The Defense Department can’t keep track of its property, the Internal Revenue Service is struggling to keep up with identity frauds, and there aren’t enough employees to meet the mission of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The Government Accountability Office’s sixth annual report on “fragmentation, overlap and duplication,” put the spotlight once again on the DoD, Treasury Department and the Department of Health and Human Services for the “significant opportunities for cost savings and revenue enhancement [that] exist in these three areas.”
“In this report, we present 92 new actions that Congress or executive branch agencies could take to improve the government’s efficiency and effectiveness or achieve financial benefits across 37 areas that span a broad range of government missions and functions,” the GAO stated in its report. “Of these, we suggest 33 actions to address 12 areas in which we found evidence of fragmentation, overlap, or duplication in government missions such as defense, economic development, health, homeland security and information technology.”

They forgot to mention that $6 BILLION that disappeared from the State Department while Killary was in charge.
These somehow are dredged up every election cycle when there isn't an incumbent. Let's hear from the candidates on this.
And let's not forget Congress getting involved in the VA scandals by quickly creating another layer of bureaucracy for veterans to make appointments outside the VA system. It's just as bad if not worse because of this outside agency getting involved. It was easier and better going through the regional med center than trying to make appointments with some idiot at a California call center. And there aren't that many doctors participating in the Veterans Choice Program so we have to go further to appointments. More tax dollars being wasted.
33 actions.
I like it.
