Americans Say Federal Government Wastes 56 Cents of Every Tax Dollar Emily Ekins | April 18, 2012

I deny the premise.

The Federal Government spends $1.50 for each $1 collected in tax. So it could easily waste more than 100 cents for each tax dollar collected. I doubt that was included as one of the choices in the question.

I think they are underestimating the waste. More like 80%.
