Trump Admin Finds Yet Another Massive Block of Fraud In (Wait For It) A Blue State

Every dollar stolen through fraud is a dollar that does not go to a deserving beneficiary, a public service or a taxpayer. Fraud is not a victimless crime. It undermines confidence in government and makes it harder to sustain programs that Americans genuinely need. And Democrats appear to be the biggest accessories to fraud.

Unreal

The reality is that the government should be able to accomplish two goals at the same time: protect legitimate recipients and aggressively pursue fraudsters. Those objectives are not contradictory. In fact, they depend on each other.

They expect government officials to be responsible stewards of public funds. They do not expect Democrats to look the other way while fraud proliferates and then attack efforts to clean up the mess.

No administration will eliminate waste entirely. Government is too large and too complex for that. But leaders should be judged by whether they confront problems or enable them.
