“How much of our debt can we pay off by clawing back fraudulent payments of the past?”
Zero. That money was all spent. I doubt a lot of it is hidden in Swiss Bank accounts.
How much of the ANNUAL DEFICIT can we get rid of by ending all fraud? Maybe 10%. But it’s nowhere near enough to balance the budget.
It’s adding up to a lot more than that already and we haven’t even got to the waste and fraud in DOD, and I know there is a huge amount there.
