In 2024, the federal government made more than $162 billion in improper payments – money sent to the wrong people, in the wrong amounts, or that never should have gone out at all. That figure comes from the government's own watchdog, the Government Accountability Office (GAO). And it does not count waste from programs that are duplicative, outdated, or just poorly designed.

Government waste generates a lot of outrage and not much reform. This call is about moving past the heat and into the data – what the numbers actually show, where the problems are concentrated, and what a serious approach to fixing it looks like.
