Democrats oppose the audit on the grounds that DOGE, a department within the federal government, should not have access to taxpayers’ sensitive data.
They just don't want the audit.
Too early to tell. From my experience with data integrity issues first make the numbers manageable by linking data to another database (cross checking). If possible do a mass update then and what remains a red flag handle manually. This is a simplified version though, can be much more complicated. If some data is not in a database they can connect to or even worse is on paper, that can make it very labor intensive.
I have regularly coordinated and fixed data integrity issues myself. Worked for a large company that was often audited.
Of course - they need to fix this. You need to know exactly what your tax money is used for. This shouldn't be a right/left conversation. Data integrity should be in order. If not fix it - or have at least an assessment and a long term plan.
All the left does is using ad hominem arguments. If you ever want to get rid of conservatives - this is not the way.
Charity should be a private endeavor, not a collective one, and it shouldn't be a partisan decision. I want to decide for myself what I consider a good cause.
