    GAO chief says government wastes $98 billion a year on improper payments

    March 3rd, 2010 · General

    This is one billion dollars. Multiply by ninety-eight.

    By Gautham Nagesh – The Daily Caller 03/01/10 at 2:10 AM

    Acting Comptroller General Gene Dodaro said Friday the federal government likely wastes about $98 billion on mistaken transactions and other improper payments. He also criticized the federal government’s inability to effectively collect taxes or secure its computer systems and pressed for action on financial regulatory reform.

    “Problems in the nation’s financial sector have exposed major weaknesses in the current U.S. financial regulatory system. If those weaknesses are not adequately addressed, we could see similar or even worse crises in the future,” Dodaro cautioned.

    Russia’s Black Community Seeking their Place in an Often Hostile Environment

    Kevin O’Flynn, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

    Russian reaction to President Barack Obama’s visit seemed mixed, but he serves as inspiration to the country’s little-known African-Russian community.
