Federal Government Spending: $125 Billion in Improper Payments

Feds Made $125 Billion in 'Improper Payments' in 2010--Enough To Fund State Department 11 Times Over

At a time of growing concern about government spending, the federal government made $125 billion in “improper payments” in fiscal 2010, more than eleven times the total 2010 spending by the U.S State Department.

The $125 billion in improper payments was also more than 7 times the total spending by the Justice Department or by NASA, which runs the U.S. space program, which is preparing to launch its last-ever shuttle flights.
