Controller estimates $11.5 million in fraudulent in-home care payments

More than two-thirds of the 1.4 million people enrolled in CalWORKs are children, who receive cash grants and benefit from subsidies that help their parents study and work.
The maximum grant a CalWORKs mother and two children in Sacramento can receive is $661 a month

14,000 county employees who administer CalWORKs would lose their jobs.
Or if they had to pay for it themselves.
The left does not pay taxes.
Let’s get state IRS agencies to investigate liberals in every state and make sure they are paying their fair share of taxes owed.
Let’s start with Charlie Rangel and Timothy Geithner.
pretty close though actually...
Yeah, every time I hear somebody bragging about investigating M-Care/M-Caid fraud, I think, “Great!” But it is always the crooked providers that get caught, which is good, but never the fraudulent, able-bodied recipients of such taxpayer dollars.
Create welfare "bounty hunters". They get paid a percentage of the fraud they uncover and eliminate.
Meanie!
Possibly correct, but it sounds a great deal like the argument made to justify "let Obama have a term and we can then get a new Reagan". The problem is that there may be nothing left by then and in any case there is no guarantee that another Reagan exist. A lot of damage can be done in 4 years.
Ken, I agree with you on many things but not this time. The Obama administration has already done what you are recommending for California. If Californians aren't smart enough to react to that then overthrowing the Democrats in California is a fantasy.
I am never in favor of your argument of electing the enemy and letting them screw things up so it will be easier for us next time. If we can't argue the common sense of conservatism now, as opposed to the fantasy of Progressives, then when can we do it?
How about we concentrate on the eliminating useless programs/personnel/bureaus and offices?
What’s forgotten in this ‘cut the waste’ meme is that we are still leaving the bloated welfare state intact... just more efficient.
But is Meg a conservative....will she do what California needs, or will she try to accomodate the Dem legislature...that’s the question...Illegal immigration is absolutle killing California, let she waffles on doing what needs to be done..
Another argument I disagree with! You are recommending that they elect a known evil rather than take a chance that another may not be as good as we hope. That is a classic example of allowing the perfect to be an enemy of the good. Few, if any, will be perfect and Meg may turn out to be much better than you think.
Jerry Brown is a career politician. He uses one political office as a stepping stone to the next. He draws his paycheck from the taxpayers and uses his position to make much more. Do you really think he just wants to "serve the people?" Those are the people we are trying to get rid of.
I used to raise horses and when I hear politicians say they are in for the public service I usually think of a stallion servicing a mare.
Let me try this another way...contrast Meg with the new gov of NJ...who has stated clearly what he's going to do to restore fiscal integrity to the state..will Meg do that..I don't think so...
