Vice President JD Vance said at Friday’s cabinet meeting that the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, of which he is chair, has identified $230 billion in fraud and prevented $56 billion in fraudulent payments.
Most of us gloss over what fraud is costing Americans in our everyday life, and what is horrible is this money, a lot of it, a very lot of it, is going to illegals and/or being sent home to their country of origin. That is a disgrace that we allowed this, and the GOP has their hands in the cookie jar as well.
Providing for those in need is the right thing to do, but we need controls and ID’s, real ID’s to stop the fraud as well and ensure the Democrats don’t see power for a while. All IMO.
NOTE: this graphic is not from the article; it is what I created from the fraud figures in this article to give you an idea of the impacts, so don’t gloss over the facts. AI-generated, of course.
