Why did Joe Biden have 6 multi million dollar personal homes in good real estate areas?
How did the GAO and the IRS let that past them?
This does not count the similar fraud that happens to the Federal Funds when they hit the state and local level.
The last audit of LA County finances suggested that over 50% of Los Angeles County social services and other transfer payment spending was fraudulent.
News reports of the audit findings were punctuated with Cal State commercials advertising how virtually all Californians could qualify for California social service transfer payments of one form or another and gave a hot line number so interested parties could get help signing up for public money.

People need to go to prison for a very long time. The ones at the top of the food chain and the middle people and anyone else that saw this happening and okayed it.
Yeah, it’s troubling that that’s as closely as they can pin it down.
And nothing was done or even much said by either side of the aisle.
This will not be solved by people receiving government salaries.
It will have to be identified and wiped out by an outside entity like DOGE.
