The media/left doesnt consider this fraud but rather social justice.

"CAL DOGE" isn't a real thing other than a campaign stunt by a candidate for governor.

Take it for what you will.

All blue States allow welfare fraud to flourish, in the tens of billions. The politicians turn a blind eye because they want their States and cities to be shit-holes.

If you want higher taxes and a much lower standard of living and you like offensive smells, violence and high crime and if you want to be second to illegal immigrants who do not assimilate, move to a blue State. This is exactly why billions in revenue are leaving blue States.

Democrats are low-lifes.

millions of Mexicans and blacks in California do not work and hang around on the block all day making a total mess of their cities.

The shrinking % of working people (mostly white) props up the entire thing. I've been station in one of the biggest cities in California for a few years. Blows my mind how many people see it as a normal way of life to get on benefits and do nothing. Just get tattoos, smoke weed, and eat junk food with their taxpayer funds. Kids grow up and aspire to this.

I don't know, just pointing out that there is an agenda here and probably a motivation to analyze the data in a way that influences the results.

Personally, I don't trust politicians, especially when they are campaigning, but maybe this one is honest?

I'm not sure who is on Cal DOGE, but the second tweet I posted is from the head of LexisNexis Government Risk Solutions.

Now do Texas and Florida, because I can pretty much guarantee they are proportionally the same numbers. In Mississippi there was 100 million in fraud that Biden told them to pay back and Trump actually gave them more time on.

Surprise surprise, people try to rip off the government.

Do you ever see people walking around in suits, driving fancy cars, always lots of cash but yet a simple conversation you know they don't have what it takes to have that kind of money? Ever wonder why there is all this money floating around yet it's unobtainable in an honest way? It's this. You are probably paying half your income, if not more in states like CA and NY, and yet nothing gets done and everything is chit. This is why. All these "programs" where the state or fed pays companies to do a job, they move it around and take cuts out of it until this is what happens. They know how to do it because even if you were on to them it would take so much investigation it would exhaust resources and cost about as much to find as what is lost. What we see is just the tip of the iceberg because the only real reason these immigrants got caught is because they are complete retards and made huge mistakes but they got away from it. So glad for AI because it can analyze and narrow down things in what would take a person months to do in a matter of minutes, if not seconds.

You lear something everyday.

LOL yeah, but are they actually installing roofs or are they just getting paid to do so? Roofing companies are well known for fraud however, that's usually on the insurance companies.

Sir, I'm far too principled and moralistic to change. You can always look to me for steady guidance, even when the truth is uncomfortable.

If he wasn't good looking and didn't have great hair? He wouldn't even be a city councilman, let alone running for POTUS.

But people who have a schtick? And his is his looks....have a huge leg up in today's social media age.

He is a very evil and imo immoral person who could care less about anything but himself. And he will lie about anything.

I have lived in CA for the past 15 years so believe me I know all there is to know about him.

I really hope Steven A Smith runs as a Dem. Because if he wins and beats either Rubio or Vance? At least I don't think the country would go to hell with a Dem winning.

The anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance revealed a staggering increase in California hospice and healthcare providers that were suspended as a result of the task force’s crackdown on fraud.

Fox News Digital is told a total of 221 providers in Los Angeles have been suspended so far due to suspected fraud, including a number of providers who were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.

The latest number of suspensions marks a more than 215% increase from the 70 providers initially suspended in Los Angeles last week as a result of the task force.

"The Administration's War on Fraud once again yields results as more suspensions take place and fraudsters face justice for ripping off hard-working Americans and stealing their tax dollars and social services," a Vance spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "The Vice President and his task force are proud of these latest figures and expect to see this number continue to grow dramatically."

do them all.
I don't care what color the state is.
but start with the biggest offenders first to try and slow it down.
It's mind boggling how much money is pocketed in every state instead of going to the people it was meant for.
this is why nothing gets better, only worse.

if i took my paycheck and put just enough towards keeping the lights on then pissed the rest of it away i'd be living in a total shit hole that was falling down around me.

so no surprise these cities get billions, nothing improves, and they somehow need more.
it's also no surprise either these cities are suing the government over not having to provide receipts for federal funding.

This one was outright fraud, and they got $542k back in judgement, but what was never addressed, is why were they paying $500k for 2 vehicle lifts that were never delivered? Were these vehicle lifts supposed to be for buses or something? Or were they regular vehicle lifts and they were being overcharged by $480k?




Here's another one:

Did you lear principles and "moralistic" at your alma mater?

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Prosecute the biggest offenders and then stop the fraud. Stopping the fraud discourages illegal immigrants and crime syndicates from gaming the system. It won't stop all of it, but a lot of it. Newsom has allowed it just like Walz allowed it because it builds their consensus and increases likelihood of voter fraud, which they always deny after the fact.

Thing is though Tard, I've never tried to defend that.. Never said piss all about it actually.

You were ready to fight some motherfuckers over your Learing Center though. Weren't you.
