Dem states to blame for most of the nearly $400 million in unemployment fraud over last 4 years, DOGE says

After finding $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments since 2020, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identified California, New York and Massachusetts as the primary culprits.

The three Democrat-led states accounted for $305 million in improper claim payments, DOGE said Thursday.

The group added that California also accounted for 68% of the benefits that were dispensed under former President Joe Biden to parolees identified by federal authorities as being on the government's terrorist watchlist, or who had criminal records.

California, New York and Massachusetts all have a Democratic trifecta — meaning Democrats control the state House, Senate and the governor's office. They also have a Democratic triplex, which includes party control of the Attorney General, Secretary of State and governorship.

"There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states that have mismanaged their economies and driven residents to the nearest Republican-led state," White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital. "High taxes, poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars and progressive policies continue to yield negative results, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE."

Earlier this week, DOGE reported that since 2020, hundreds of millions in fraudulent unemployment benefits went to tens of thousands of recipients listed as over 115 years old, between ages 1 and 5, or even with birthdates that haven't occurred yet.

At some point, this should become embarrassing.

Another example of our gummit funding our enemies.

This is a measure of the cost to maintain the fraudulent structires of the blue states. Nobody anywhere ever honestly votes for that stuff. Progressives - everywhere in the world- can only acquire power and maintain it fraudulently

More than likely the fraud was perpetrated by the politicians.

Never EMBARASSING! There is no embarrassing event for a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT! I first came to this conclusion back in 1966 when I lived in an apartment in Tampa, FL. Several of my female neighbors worked for the State as "Investigators" of welfare fraud. After a few drinks, they launched into tales of how they encountered FRAUD on many occasions but... DIDN'T Report it because, in their view, the people really needed the money and the State could afford it! I came to find out that this mindset was core to the Democrats!

Now, as a Nation, we cannot (really never could) tolerate such actions! DOGE activities are long overdue and may not save us in the end!

You would also expect those frequenting Epstein Island and any Diddy party to be ashamed? Really?
I have some wetlands in Lousiana you might want to buy. Interested? How about a bridge in Brooklyn?

Commie trash always cheat. They are by their very nature corrupt — the end justifies the means, and the goal is to destroy YOU and enslave your children.
