Waste – what is the definition?
To the editor:
Mr (U.S. Rep. Brad) Finstad said he is proud to vote for the Recessions Act as an act to eliminate “waste”. Perhaps I don’t understand the waste in SNAP and Public Media. I understand fraud and improved efforts to see financial assistance gets to the people who need it. I understand focused funding to provide priority educational efforts. Perhaps I need the definition of waste used by Mr Finstad in this context. Perhaps Mr Finstad didn’t mean to use the word “waste”. But he did. What else is a “waste”? What else can we look forward to being de-funded?
