Corruption equals huge national debt

If the waste and corruption that has been reported and proven in our national government were ended, would we have a multi-trillion national debt hanging over our head?

The hundreds of billions stolen in Minnesota by aliens from Somalia would appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.

While the Somalis come from a totally corrupt background, you might think they would appreciate a home in a free country with opportunity something to be appreciated rather than abused.

Wrong. It would seem the Somalis apparently think the word opportunity applies more to stealing than working.

The sign on the “learing” (no “n”) center in Minneapolis where there were no children has been replicated endlessly, according to dozens of authentic news articles. Similar stories are circulating from other states with high numbers of illegal aliens who rushed to “sanctuary” cities. Not only were the aliens stealing working people’s taxes, their actions caused the defunding of real service entities that actually help people.

And all this time I thought the open borders policies of the Biden presidency were mostly about bringing in leftwing voters so that the Democratic socialists could take over permanent control of America.

And even on that point, I am overlooking the unknown number of terrorist cells located across America, made up of illegal border crashers, ready to spring into action when they get the “word.”

And it’s not just child care centers. Fox News reports a Minnesota health care center owner has been charged with a years-long Medicaid scam topping $3 million.

The Fox report follows: “Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Wednesday charged a Minneapolis man with more than $3 million in Medicaid fraud tied to a state-licensed home health agency.

“Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd was charged with eight counts of felony theft by false representation after prosecutors said he used his company, Guardian Home Health Services, to bill Minnesota’s Medicaid program for services that were never provided or were ineligible for reimbursement from 2020 through 2024.

“According to the criminal complaint, Guardian submitted fraudulent claims for personal care aide services, companion care, homemaking, respite care, individualized home support and other community support services. State officials have designated many of these services as “high-risk” for fraud.

“Prosecutors allege Omarxeyd and his wife siphoned more than $2 million from the company’s accounts during the scheme.”

Then there was the report in Sunday’s Times and Free Press (Page 5) relating that a congressional hearing that revealed Obamacare was ready made for looting.

Headlined, GAO finds Obamacare fraud is easy, The article was written by Ray Carter, director of the Independent Journalism Center in Oklahoma.

In case you missed it, I’m reprinting it here: “A review by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) found it is relatively easy for individuals to fraudulently obtain taxpayer-subsidized insurance through Obamacare, and that millions of dollars may have been expended on fraudulent applications, according to testimony presented at a recent U.S. Senate hearing.

“During the hearing, conducted by the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Subcommittee on Border Management, Federal Workforce and Regulatory Affairs, U.S. Sen. James Lankford asked officials about GAO efforts to test whether fraudulent identification is accepted by officials running the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) marketplace.

“Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, noted that the report results “were pretty stark on this.”

Seto Bagdoyan, a director for audit services in the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s Forensic Audits & Investigative Service mission team, told Lankford his agency developed 20 scenarios to test fraud controls with 10 bogus applications run through HealthCare.gov and 10 others through brokers.

Bagdoyan said 19 of the 20 bogus applications were accepted, although one was later flagged by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

“But we do have 18 of them that cost the government over $10,000 a month in premiums,” Bagdoyan said.

Lankford asked if any pattern existed among the fraudulent applications accepted.

“Is this false Social Security numbers, or is this multiple Social Security numbers?” Lankford asked. “Is this just entering Mickey Mouse and a fake address in Orlando?”

“Everything is fake, sir,” Bagdoyan responded. “All the information, driver’s license, the Social Security number, pay stubs, birth certificates, anything and everything that the marketplace has asked us to submit is fake.”

Lankford also questioned GAO officials about confi rmed instances in which the same Social Security number has been used multiple times by those seeking taxpayer-subsidized insurance through an Obamacare exchange.

“What are you finding with the same Social Security number being used over and over and over again?” Lankford asked.

“I will highlight the most egregious one we have to date, which is 127 policies attached to a single number that’s costing the government about $600,000 a year in subsidies,” Bagdoyan said. “And it’s a mix of fullyear and part-year policies. And the critical point is that the 33 full-year policies are spread across 13 different states, and they involve a mix of genders. So that is a red flag that something isn’t right here.”

However, he said officials at the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have declined to address that fraud.

“When we pressed CMS on that, Mister Chairman, their response is, ‘We really are not going to do anything because we don’t want to kick off the wrong person,” Bagdoyan said.

Obviously, oversight is needed on a vast array of programs, many designed to enrich the Left and their friends.

Go President Trump. You arrived to save America from a fate about half the country can’t — or refuses to — understand.
