Even worse is that the US hasn't had an actual budget for over 15 years. Ever since the bailout for the Global Financial Crisis, the US government has been paying the bills by passing a new continuing resolution every year. They simply keep the baseline spending increases programmed in, and than add in whatever new spending initiatives on top.
Both Republicans and Democrats have gone along with dodging their responsibility to actually come up with a Budget for all of their appropriations. The amount of potential fraud and abuse that has built up over the years is probably more massive than we can imagine. We shall see how much of it DOGE manages to root out.
