What has been revealed about government financial management and accountability in the post-COVID era?

In the post-COVID era, government financial management has been exposed as extremely problematic, with reports showing not just trivial amounts but hundreds of billions of dollars lost to fraud. The clip highlights how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, involving Elon Musk, aims to address these inefficiencies by increasing transparency into government spending. The attraction of bringing in someone like Musk is that he can cut through the bureaucracy that most people don't want to wade through, such as thousand-page Office of Management and Budget reports. This effort represents a push toward greater financial accountability, with the goal of providing better insight into where taxpayer money is actually going and preventing further waste.
