      Are just not true. Unless, of course, congressional approval does not count as official scrutiny?

      “While innocuous on the surface, Power’s comments revealed a great deception the US government is currently waging against the American public.”

      Thise statement is purely inflammatory and riling up everything.

      Furthermore, they’re spending multiple paragraphs talking about how much money is being spent and how bad it is without actually saying anything, those are just filler paragraphs intended to further rile up uncritical readers.
