I would love to work with DOGE. It's about time they cleaned up the grift. Thank you President Trump, Mr Musk and the diligent hard workers at DOGE.
k6XMN makes assertions without substantiation, Assertions founded on baseless conjecture.
I would love to be part of the DOGE clean up. Unfortunately, I am a bit long in the tooth, I'm in my early 60s and approaching retirement. I have a lot of experience with government organizations such as DOD, NIH, State and Veterans Affairs, and even some treasury related services, to name a few. I've also seen some medicare/medicaid fraud, albeit briefly.
In my 45+ years of working I've witnessed and experienced first hand the travesty of what DOGE is cleaning up.
Some of the more significant are listed below,
- Military and DOD grift, over charging for profit, e.g., cheap toilet seats of inferior quality, that are line-item billed between $60.00 and $120.00 each. Toilets seats weren't the only thing over billed.
- DOD logistics, billed and paid, with no material or service actually delivered.
- DOD grift on a large scale, e.g., Fat Leonard, et alia.
- NIH blatant fraud. NIH Grants approved based on fabricated fraudulent data, Grants based on professional nepotism and familial nepotism.
- NIH grant money used to produce yet more totally fabricated fraudulent data then published in peer reviewed medical literature. There's a lot of nepotism in the scientific peer review process. Scientific research is about as accurate as The Onion in some regards, especially in physical and medical sciences.
- NIH grant money used by university faculty and administrators for dining lavishly, indulging in wine brandy and cognac at 300 or more dollars per glass. Six to eight or nine people spending over twenty thousand dollars of grant money on a single meal, all of them college administrators, professors, and their lackey graduate students. These were regular events, three to five times yearly. It was obscene.
- NIH funded publications that aren't readily accessible to the tax payer. Elsevier owns copyright on the publications. Taxpayers have to pay to receive PDF reprints.
- Beltway Banditry. This common place. A slang term for consulants in the greater DC metropolitan area including NoVA and MD.
- In most government agencies, GS employees don't actually do any work. They are just 'administrators' who subcontract the work to various organizations in and around the DC area or wherever their supposed home office is located, These consulting companies are both large and small. The contractors do most of the actual work. Their contracts cost millions and usually span several years. They almost always go over budget and require extensions for both money and time. A five year twelve million dollar contract easily becomes ten years and thirty million. This is common place. The contractors milk the government agencies for everything they can get. Analogous to leaning on a shovel all day, or a 'no show' job.
Medicare/Medicaid billing fraud. I lasted only a few weeks at this fraudulent company, Dialysis service billed and paid, but the patients did not exist. They were dead for years beforehand, The billing intermediary for whom I worked continued submitting claims for services never rendered. I was fired after questioning it. Apparently my attempts at reporting it were ignored by state and federal law enforcement.
DEI - this is more like Divisiveness, Exclusion and Inequity.
It's not at all about diversity, and equity, and inclusion. The self aggrandized level playing field is more like a field with holes and trenches dug around it field for marginalizing those perceived as 'privileged'.
My current quasi federal agency employer touts their DEI as progressive and successful. I went to a few of their 'celebrations' for minorities and LGBTQ+. White male heterosexuals were apparently not altogether welcome. I'm actually puerto rican, but by all appearances most people perceive me as white male hetero, I was made to feel very unwelcome at their DEI events, Basically I was treated with indignation, or simply ignored. Some people asked, 'what are you even doing here?'. Others stated they weren't expecting straight white males to show up. Yes indeed, Divisiveness, Exclusion and Inequity, built to order, bespoke, for marginalizing those perceived as 'privileged' oppressors.
Privileged? I left home at 17, enlisted in the army at 18, went to college on an ROTC scholarship, and received no family support, I borrowed on student loans and worked to pay ancillary expenses (and my debt).
