When Republicans voted to cut Medicaid from able-bodied people and to eliminate fraud, the Democrats howled, “You’re taking away health care.” It was never-ending screaming and it continues to this day.
When Republicans voted to attack fraud in food programs, the Democrats screeched, “You’re taking food from children and they’ll starve.” It was never-ending screaming and it continues to this day.
Recently a massive fraud ring was uncovered in Minnesota involving child care, food programs, and care for people, mostly children, with autism. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said that the treasury has identified $300 million from these programs being wired to Somalia. And the reaction from Democrats about how this is depriving health care for children and food for the hungry? NOTHING! Not one peep. In fact, those who have helped uncover this fraud are being called racists and Nazis. Yawn … They still don’t know that we don’t care what they call us.
Democrats don’t care about fraud because it’s not their money and fraud has zero impact on their lives. After all, April 15 is right around the corner again as it always will be. Democrats enable fraud because the people who get it mostly vote for Democrats so the gravy train can continue. To them it’s fine because someone else will always have to pay and they never suffer the consequences of their incompetence, or worse, illegal activities.
Of course the amount of fraud in Minnesota will be a fraction of a penny compared to what’s happening here. Like in Minnesota, we do nothing about it because if it’s one thing the Democrats excel at, it’s not fixing problems or caring for the dollars they force us to give. Still waiting for someone to tell me one problem Gavin Newsom or Karen Bass has solved.
