Dr Oz, Administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, exposed a linen factory was converted into an office building for 400 likely fake Medicaid businesses in Minneapolis

He then confirmed EACH ONE IS BILLING ROUGHLY A MILLION DOLLARS to taxpayers

“Roughly each business had $1,000,000 of billing. It's an industrial area”

“How is it possible 400 businesses billing almost $400 million were able to thrive here? — Why did no one in the state figure out this was a concern?”

We will continue to investigate. Gathering details. Holding hearings. Sending subpoenas. Building that airtight case. It will take some time. We may not be able to arrest anyone until sometime during the next Democrat administration, but be patient ...

“...The corruption is off the charts. The only way to correct this at this point is military tribunals and mass public hangings of the crooks......”

^THIS” is the solution that no one really wants to talk about. But....it’s the ONLY solution that wil stop this communist BS once and for all. The communists have alrady overthown the justice system deliberately incapacitating it such that it is now incapalbe of handling it.. Military tribunals need to happen...and soon.
IF it is NOT done, this communist cancer will spread like wildfire thanks to the likes of demons like Georgy Soros and his vile ilk.. And like every other communist overthrow, we ain’t voting our way out of this...we’ll have to shoot our way out.
This BS makes one wanna just fricken’ quit paying taxes altogether. Anyone had enough of. this BS already? Rhetorical question, of course..

Targeted Arc Raids would work too. That would be like cancer removal in a medical sense.

The fraud is so blatant and pervasive that the government all had to know about it.
The only reason they didn’t do anything about it was because they were VOTING as a block for the Democrats.
If you had the Somalies vote you got elected.
If you didn’t you had no chance of getting elected.
Then there are the campaign contributions to their PACS.

Bonding could be required.

Areas subject to fraud could be made 50% federal/50% state instead of 90% federal/10% state PPACA expansion with federal funding caps based on expected population to be served.

The federal government could simply not pay for certain things.

The federal government could block grant money to states in lieu of Medicaid, SNAP, Title I and other programs.

This money could be limited to certain things: education in buildings owned by a school district, care by a doctor in his place of business, care of Medicare scope in a hospital in the Medicare program, healthy and economical food, etc.

The Republicans were given the power to reform things by the American people back in November 2024.

“The communists have alrady overthown the justice system”

We can’t successfully impeach judges, but a Republican Congress and President can removal their tools of obstruction.

The Congress has Article I, Section 8 power to make rules for the government.

Perhaps a new law:

Federal judges shall not make law, but merely help litigants get the benefit of the text and intended meanings of the provisions of the Constitution when they were placed into it, statutory law and the remnants of common law.

No ruling or decision by a federal district or appellate court judge on a case against a government, a governmental agency or governmental person shall be applicable beyond each entity or private person individually listed within by name or personal particulars by the judge personally.

No federal judge who has or has possessed foreign citizenship may adjudicate an immigration, asylum or removal case.

No district court federal judge shall work on a case who has a parent, aunt, uncle, sibling, child, grandchild or known partner of such close relative or a personal partner with any case related interest.

The following district and appellate court judges are hereby barred from hearing cases where the federal government is a party or federal funding is in contention:
....

If judges don’t want to be shaking their fists instead of gavels, they need to behave and know their place.

If judges don’t want to have to wear fools’ caps as Congress may require under Article I, Section 8, they need to behave and know their place.

Correct. It was not a concern to them; in fact, it was supported. Even if not directly profiting, participation in ‘The Resistance’ (i.e., funding democrats) would be sufficient motivation.

They’re outright lunatics, and a natural expression of a destabilized society. That a state Governor’s wife feels it necessary to comment on how much she enjoyed the aroma of burning tires wafting in through their home’s open windows as their city burned is beyond words. Yet this is the class of people at the top of our political class. My high school government and civics classes did not prepare me for this...

So, when are they all being arrested and charged with fraud?

There are multiple aspects to the corruption, including political/bureaucratic (USAID) and organized fraud (as in this example), coupled with enriched pols & bureaucrats who have their hands out to look the other way. Yes, judges, police etc., too

I can’t imagine that what’s occurred in MN is either isolated nor the result of just random fraudsters.

DJT has a tall order inflicting damage on an infection which has affected literally all aspects of our system, probably ‘helped’ along by our enemies who are also profiting from the fraud.

They have to start somewhere. We need very public examples to demonstrate why drastic action is required to shut down avenues to fraud. Why not MN? [rhetorical]

But I have ZERO faith in a DOJ under blondi...

I believe Walz, Ellison and Frey knew what was going on - and most likely were receiving kick-backs from the fraud:

Convicted Minnesota fraudster alleges Walz, Ellison were aware of widespread fraud

"Aimee Bock, the former head of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, convicted in one of the state’s largest fraud schemes alleged in a jailhouse interview that Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud well before federal prosecutors stepped in."

Just think what would happen if we stopped sending our best and brightest to Washington.

While in general I agree with your low estimation of Washington bureaucrats, I don't think you can blame this one on them. As I understand it, the Feds block grant money to the states who then are responsible for distributing it. So in this case, it was the state bureaucrats who were either stupid or corrupt. I'd bet it was both.

Why the hell did I do everything in life legitimately? College with no loans. Worked since 16 (even younger doing odd jobs on weekends and summers). Started a business, had employees, paid insane taxes. Lost everything thanks to government and the lock downs. Struggled back. And what do I see year after year? Fraud by people who never get busted and who never paid a dime to contribute to the country. Especially now seeing the worst garbage people on earth coming here, getting welfare, scamming billions, of not trillions, and living a life of luxury all while bashing the country and hating American taxpayers.

But cheer up OP. It’s tax season. I get to pay my fair share to fund the luxury life of 68 in turds from the biggest s holes on earth.
