We need jobs, millions of jobs so lets form a National Police Force (NPF). I know it sounds crazy but it could be the only Federal agency that pays it’s own way.
The NPF would be solely charge with rooting out fraud in Government programs. They could start with Social Security Disability and Food Stamp programs. Then move on to investigating bribes, kickbacks and mis-use of Government property. From there, they be assigned to price gouging and personal benefiting from government jobs. They could look into productivity studies of government employee jobs.
The money saved by NPF would pay their salaries and put a lot money back into the Treasury.
I know this sounds like a dumb idea thinking the Government dosn’t police itself, it would hire about 1,000,000 people for a couple years and hopefully be scaled back after that.
