Pssst: There actually isn’t a lot of waste, fraud, an abuse in the govt given its size. Big businesses typically have more.
“Waste, fraud, and abuse” is what politicians (1) say to BS that they can save a lot of money without taking anything from anyone or (2) by “waste,” mean “thing I don’t like.”

The $71.9 billion in foreign aid that the government spent in fiscal 2023 works out to *1.2%* of that year’s total federal outlays, which were more than $6.1 trillion.
In fiscal 1963, international assistance amounted to about 4.7% of total federal outlays, according to archived data from the OBM.
