"If officials who continue to promote these philosophies have their way, America will no longer be a nation of laws but a country where political expediency is the rule."
. . . "One of the most recent egregious examples cited, according to the General Accounting Office, occurred in FY 2025. Rampant fraud discovered in the Medicaid and Medicare programs in Minnesota, Ohio, California, and Maine has resulted in $186 billion (thus far) spent on “improper payments stolen from taxpayers.” In Minnesota, more than 90% of those indicted for massive swindles in the “Feeding Our Future” food program, housing stabilization, and specialized Medicaid programs were centered in the Somali community. Testimony revealed that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were put on notice of fraud in 2020, but funds kept flowing as their oversight responsibilities were ignored. In another instance, in Van Nuys, California, investigators found that a three-story dilapidated building, which was supposed to house 50 hospices and 97 home health companies, did not; the building even lacked a constructed wheel chair ramp for incoming patients. Even more proof of fraud was uncovered in a government report finding that six million ineligible people were enrolled in “Obamacare” in 2026; these illegal subsidies cost taxpayers upwards of $25 billion.
In all of these cases, elected officials were unwilling to enforce laws which prohibited “paying someone who was ineligible for federal assistance.” To be clear, these amounts were not minor rounding errors but the result of governing authorities who ignored established laws, their responsibilities and, in many instances, gained political support from recipients for their largesse. Treasury Secretary Bessent estimated that if all 50 states are audited for these brazen thefts and such schemes are eliminated, the U.S. could balance its budget.
