Did you know that in 2018, federal bureaucrats wasted over $150 billion in improper payments alone. That's not counting the countless federal programs that are unnecessary, duplicative, or plagued by fraud and abuse.

"Congress has abdicated its power to an enormous, unelected federal bureaucracy that has no regard for the taxpayer," Michael told the committee. "Many well-intentioned people have gone to Washington trying to reform it from the inside, but decades of this approach have led to nothing but bigger government."
