From Lincoln Policy:

In a new op-ed in The Hill, Lincoln Network’s Garrett Johnson and R Street Institute’s Tony Mills explain why taxpayers should support strengthening the Government Accountability Office—pointing to the auditors’ estimated return-on-investment of $338 for each tax dollar spent in FY2019.

Since 2010, GAO has delivered hundreds of billions in taxpayer savings, including by identifying duplication and fragmentation across federal programs. In March, GAO projected that its work rooting out duplication alone has already resulted in $262 billion in savings with more than $46 billion in additional savings expected.
