		<description><![CDATA[&quot;An improper payment occurs when the funds go to the wrong recipient, the recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds, or the recipient uses the funds in an improper manner. By strengthening financial management controls so that Federal agencies can better detect and prevent improper payments, the Federal Government can better ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and efficiently.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[In ten years, a savings of $108 billion a year would total almost $1.1 trillion. That kind of savings is NOT chump change. Other proposals for savings in areas of waste involve lower amounts of money, which has been downplayed by the Obama administration as too small to make a difference (as if saving $10 million here and $15 million there, times a dozen or so isn&#039;t significant), but this one involves, as one Senator once remarked, &quot;real money.&quot;  
 
$700 billion in lost federal grant funds dating back 16 years would get pretty close to paying off the stimulus bail-out money from 2009. That would be nice, actually seeing our government pay some of its debts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And those on the Left wonder why people are so opposed to new taxes. 
 
It&#039;s NOT the taxes per-se. Money is tight, people are hurting so any new tax is a serious problem. But  more-often-than-not people are willing to dig deeper to help out (IMO)  
 
But when the money we dig deeper to help out is simply wasted people have no confidence that MORE monies will be better spent.......all most folks see is more money that is going to be WASTED. 
 
As Mr. Greenfield pointed out.  ]]></description>
