In an expose written by senior fellow Christopher Rufo at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research for the Institute's City Journal he wrote "experts and Health & Human Services officials estimated that fraud has consumed between $180 billion and $280 billion of public funds meant to provide heath care, unemployment benefits and general welfare payments."
"While the state's indifferent and careless administration of these programs is the primary culprit, the lax enforcement of the federal government under Biden, and now Trump, bears a share of the blame," Rufo asserted. "Thousands of reports from whistleblowers led to fewer than 100 prosecutions."
A Newsom spokesperson called this expose "utter bulls**t--- from top to bottom. California will keep doing its part to go against fraud, we ask the federal government to work with us to do the same. We're proud that nearly 5% of those who stole these public funds have been successfully prosecuted. The more important question is whether Trump will pardon any of them like he's done for so many before?"
Anti-corruption czar Vice-President JD Vance hailed the prosecution of fraudsters who stole $50 million from California's federal health and hospice subsidies. Vance acknowledged that "this represents less than .0003% of the funds lost to fraud during Newsom's governorship. But it's a step in the right direction. We hope to go a lot further in the next three years."

“…..and now Trump”
Huh?????
Ya, right. If it wasn’t for Trump’s focus on fraud we’s never know. But they gotta lump him in with all the real crooks because of TDS as we all damn well know.
Weee’re off to see the Wizard!
The lizardy Wizard of Fraud!
We hear he’s weird and eerily queer
A drearily quarrelsome clod!
We’re off to see the Lizard
The wizardy lizard of Fraaaud…!!!

Hey if we don’t steal it someone else will.
I’m not aware of Newsom exposing and getting restitution for any California fraud, so I don’t know what he is even talking about when he says California is doing its part. Maybe he got $10 back, and I missed the hoopla over it.
Newsom and his democrat crooked cronies have stolen enough taxpayer money to last their families for generations. We need to take it back, all of it.
Thousands of whistleblower reports that fraud has consumed between $180-$280 billion of tax dollars,
meant to provide heath care, unemployment benefits and general welfare payments,
has led to fewer than 100 prosecutions.
Not a whole lot of room left there for any satire, if you ax me.
