Fighting corruption the way it is being done right now in the US government is like having a river of gasoline feeding a fire and the fireman are pointing their hoses at one burning agency at a time.
Sure, you're gonna find stuff, and lots of it--but the problem will remain raging out of control.
That river of gasoline is the Fed-printed dollars that allow unrestrained deficit spending.
The normal feedback mechanism of literally running out of money forces normal organizations to prioritize and eliminate waste and fraud. Without this, it's just one big party on a runaway train that can only end in hyperinflation and tears.
Fix the money, fix the world, as they say.
