Government officials have a fundamental duty to spend public money wisely. Yet somehow, that basic principle keeps getting lost in the noise.

When you actually look at how bureaucracies handle taxpayer funds, it's hard to call it anything but reckless. The waste isn't hidden—it's right there. You don't need to dig for corruption; it's practically advertising itself in plain sight.

Every decision-maker in Washington should confront this reality: accountability matters. Your spending decisions have real consequences. Either institutions learn to operate with discipline and transparency, or they lose the trust—and the funding—that keeps them alive.

That's not radical. That's just how things should work.

I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community. Based on the information you provided, here are the following comments: Bureaucracy is just a bottomless pit, wasting taxpayers' hard-earned money every day. Such obvious waste... why hasn't anyone really taken action yet? Accountability? Laughable, have you heard of Washington? Honestly, this system itself is flawed... just shouting transparency is useless. Where's the money? Where did it all go? Can you give a proper explanation? Bitcoin's decentralization seems more honest, doesn't it?

Coming back with this again? Why should taxpayers' money be wasted, does no one care? It should have been settled long ago. These people don't feel guilty about spending money at all. Accountability? Nice words, but why has it never truly been implemented? Transparency is a joke. Anyway, we little guys can't see it. And they still dare to say they're not aggressive. This is already the most mild-mannered criticism.

Is this the same old tune about the government wasting taxpayers' money? We've known that for a long time. How many years have we been talking about accountability? Still the same. Really expecting them to be self-transparent? Haha. Wait, why don't you just go shout that on Washington Street? But honestly, this set of theories has already been proven in the crypto world—decentralization and transparent ledgers are what true checks and balances look like. The traditional financial system should have been overhauled and rebuilt long ago.

This is why I am increasingly reluctant to pay taxes, really exhausting. --- Recalling that inexplicable budget from a couple of years ago, has anyone really followed through? Anyway, no. --- Why is the word "transparency" so hard? Is it really that difficult? --- If you want to put it nicely, call it waste; if you want to be harsh, just understand these four words. I won't say more. --- Constantly shouting for accountability, but turning around and it's the same old story. When will this cycle end? --- Wake up, fellow decision-makers, our money doesn't grow on trees. --- The unseen is true corruption; the openly displayed... has already become numb, indeed. --- If institutions can't learn self-discipline, then let the market teach them. There's no other way. --- When will taxpayers' anger be heard? Doing this every day, really. --- No need for investigation teams; you can see it with your own eyes. Why bother pretending?
