Kevin O’Leary, the businessman and TV personality, recently claimed that the U.S. government has not been audited in a century. However, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights Tom Malinowski quickly corrected him during a CNN interview, pushing back against what he called a “ridiculous” argument.
O’Leary’s Claim: ‘There’s No Way To Be Surgically Precise’
During the discussion, O’Leary argued that cutting government spending requires broad action because there is no way to precisely identify waste. “Yes, you can’t be surgically precision. There’s no way to be surgically precision in this. You have to cut more because you just don’t know,” O’Leary stated. He went on to say, “Remember, we’ve never audited government for 100 years. Never done this before.”
