Z, > And there's an entire party in this country and at least a third of another party in this country totally invested in screaming unconditionally that that money is being spent totally poorly, even when there's not much evidence of it.

When Pelosi says that unemployment checks are "stimulus," that's all the evidence I need.

I think a huge problem with government today, and one reason it seems SO damn inefficient is that it's HYPER-sensitive about waste, fraud and abuse! It has intrusive, expensive, pain-in-the-ass systems set up to detect and squash waste fraud and abuse.

Not everywhere, but certainly in a LOT of social spending, but hardly any at all in military spending.
