> We should all be concerned about these kinds of issues, even if we like the programs.

And exactly what form should this concern take? Require a ballot initiative on every expenditure over $10,000?

Let's be realistic here.

Whenever you're doing something on a huge scale there are going to be inefficiencies and problems. We have to accept them up to a point.

Now that $8 billion that went missing in Iraq? That's probably something worth being up in arms about.

The small amount of money we're spending on EV credits? Not wasteful and not worth freaking out about. That program is working exactly as intended.
