BIDEN MAKING HISTORY: First to Oversee $1 Trillion in Improper Payments in a Single Term

No sitting president has ever admitted to $1 TRILLION in improper payments during a single four-year term, but President Biden is on pace to do just that before he leaves office.

Federal agencies threw out over $764 billion on improper payments in fiscal years 2021-2023, or $801.4 billion after adjusting for inflation.

It would be a nearly $200 billion increase in improper payments from President Trump’s administration, adjusted for inflation.

Barring something unprecedented, the total will cross the trillion-dollar mark by the time President Biden’s term ends.

The Biden-Harris administration is fond of marking historic firsts, but this will be a rather ignominious one.

Two decades later, here we are about to cross another terrible benchmark: a trillion dollars worth of taxpayers’ money spent improperly in just a single, 4-year presidential term.
