Government is at an all time spending high. In many cases of our Federal Budget, government is overpaying drastically for goods and services that can be rendered to the State for a fair price. In some cases that I have identified, such as budgets to house soldiers returning back from war, the government is paying 400% more then the premium price of housing in the neighborhoods to ensure the space for returning soldiers. These numbers are too inflated and government can secure these spaces without paying a grotesque sum of money above premium. At most government should always purchase at wholesale for its goods that are required for it to function, and by efficiently spending our money we will be able to afford much more for our citizenry. Our medical spending is out of control and since there is little checks and balances, medicare and medicaid often times end up picking up insanely inflated prices for services, such as $100k dollar hospital visits, etc. which are paid for by the taxpayers. Once this spending is regulated efficiently our expenses will drastically shrink. We currently spend $3.67 Trillion dollars per year to run our country and we only bring in $2.7 Trillion in Tax Revenue. We borrow in order to live. By spending our money more efficiently we will be able to cut back on our budget without having to cut any programs, as well as lower our national debt.
