This is extremely bad faith. The government has to tackle alot of problems. And corruption has been a huge one

Yea, the fact someone doesn't understand how corruption can massively increase costs for everyone is odd to me. It's like the number one way to decrease trust in the government and allow bad actors to screw over society in general.

Will corruption of government spending on welfare and Medicaid be investigated?

Trump has already pardoned the following Medicare/Medicaid fraudsters:

    Dirtbag           USD in Medicare/Medicaid Fraud
    --------------    -----------------
    Philip Esformes   $1300M
    Judigeth Negron   $ 205M
    Lawrence Duran    $ 205M
    Daniela Gozes     $  50M
    Simon Melgen      $  42M
    John Davis        $   4M

and I bet he could pardon many more for a small fee.

If Trump keeps dropping the ball on it, yes, the Congress will have to take that on as well. He’s supposed to be running the executive.

Yes, it's a bad faith question, but also easy to answer because the bar is on the floor: start by getting Trump out of Iran.

How will it block that? (Nice edit, btw)

coward.

Cowards like them are why I quote comments. They claimed that Democrats (not in power at the time) blocked DOGE and that DOGE was actually going after corruption, both lies. Then they deleted it when called out.

I didn't even think there were still DOGE shills in the wild.

Comments like that should be preserved for their historical value alone, it's like seeing the photo of the last known thylacine.
