A former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency says that he found that the federal waste, fraud and abuse that his agency was supposed to uncover were “relatively nonexistent” during his short time embedded within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,” Sahil Lavingia told NPR’s Juana Summers.
Lavingia was a successful software developer and the founder of Gumroad, a platform for online sales, when he joined DOGE in March. Lavingia said he had previously sought to work for the U.S. Digital Service, the technology unit that was renamed and restructured by the Trump administration. He told NPR that he just wanted to make government websites easier for citizens to use and didn’t really care which presidential administration he was working for, despite protests from his friends and family.
Health insurance companies. Far and away the worst of the worst when it comes to medicare fraud. Ever seen an itemized hospital bill? That, but worse. And it happens to tens of millions per year.
You dummy…when insurance companies do it, it’s smart business. I’ve learned the system coniders fraud until the correct amount of lobbying bribes are paid, the fraud dies and boom smrt business.
