Three Simple Steps That Would Save America Over A TRILLION Each Year

Change a little… change a lot.

It’s not just the dollars wasted in past spending, either. It’s the small changes that can prevent a massive percentage of national spending from going to places it was never meant to support.

Did you know that basic ID checks could save the government a Trillion (yes TRILLION) dollars a year — EVERY YEAR — in improper payments?

Wow. Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Special Services, testifying in front of the DOGE Subcommittee, says by implementing robust ID verification could save $1 trillion every single year in entitlements.

These are the kinds of questions raised at the DOGE committee hearing. Imagine if that money were paying DOWN the debt instead of growing it?

How about Medicare and Medicaid going to people who don’t qualify — to the tune of $2.7 Trillion.

This number, fortunately, isn’t every year. It goes back to the Bush years. But, imagine what better things it might have been spent on!

This is by no means a complete list. But it invokes numbers that would go a long way to reversing the debt that keeps growing year after year… and if we don’t put the national debt back into its box, it will eventually eat us all alive.

Of course, while the adults in the room are looking to scale back spending to avoid throwing America into a financial meltdown… the other team is just looking to throw wrenches into the whole process.
