The Government Accountability Office has added two big government operations to its latest “high risk list” for being vulnerable for waste, fraud, abuse, inefficiency and mismanagement.
The first is the government’s overall management of programs that deal with possible climate change problems, such as the federal flood and crop insurance programs and direct damage to federal property. It also is concerned about disaster relief programs, which spent more than $100 billion in recent years including FEMA ($80 billion 2004-2011) and emergency spending, such as the $50 Sandy relief bill. Add in Katrina relief and you get billions more.
