The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Surely Congressional Democrats should introduce a bill banning the expenditure of any federal funds for DOGE, officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, or any successor organization. And they could insist on such language in any CR or approps bill in March to keep the government open.
