On Wednesday Real America’s Voice White House reporter Brian Glenn asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the trillions in fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare payments that have been going overseas.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held her DOGE subcommittee hearing earlier in the day and announced the group’s findings. The subcommittee has found $2.7 trillion in improper and fraudulent government payments since forming their subcommittee.
..... Snip.....
On Wednesday Brian Glenn asked Karoline Leavitt about the shocking amount of fraud that government investigators already discovered.
Brian Glenn: “I want to go back to DOGE for just a second. Earlier the subcommittee headed by Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, overseas, to people who should not have gotten it, some in this room might have missed that press conference. Can you elaborate on what the President is thinking at this point?”
Karoline Leavitt: “Well, again, that’s another example, there is a very long list of the fraud, waste, and abuse that DOGE is identifying on a daily basis. Elon Musk also talked yesterday about Social Security payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with us, unfortunately.
I would say that is certainly fraud. There is also a lot of contracts they’ve identified that, just as a hypothetical example, are a million bucks been only $500,000 went out the door, so where’s the rest of that cash? And so, that’s the thing — those are the things that DOGE is working on every single day and I would just are mind everybody in this room, this is what President Trump campaigned on doing. He’s delivering on a promise that 77 million people elected him to do.”

2.7 Trillion? That's insane numbers!
How much is the national debt?
“The subcommittee has found $2.7 trillion in improper and fraudulent government payments since forming their subcommittee.”
Just unimaginable. Good Lord.
Jail? I think they’ve sucked up enough taxpayer money.
Yes, and while they were doing this they were pushing to hire more IRS agents so they could take more money away from Americans.
It's been all over X, the new news these days. Is GP expecting the MSM to report on it?
Braindead Biden killed Medicare after draining all the blood out of it.
That is because that money went to Democrat voters!
Rob from the workers and give to the
minority voters!
can somebody teach me a little basic economics here? If that amount of money(presumably printed) is drained out of our economy, why is there inflation? I’m sure a lot is returned through just basic corruption, but it can’t but leave a lot just being burned.
Interesting that Brian Glenn is focusing on an MTG issue. They’ve been a couple for a while.
$2.7T is unbelievable?
Then why believe it. Let’s see the documentation and interpretations.
Got no problem with the number being $150B.
$2.7T is someone interpreting things they don’t like to be waste.
Because its like exwives and alimony and child support.
They (socialists) think its their money.
because the msm is too busy creating news stories to accuse Pres Trump of horrors so that their clueless viewers will remain ignorant of the facts
I suppose part of the answer is , if you print $8 t extra, 1.7 isn’t all that much.
These numbers become more and more fantastic by the hour. I wonder what the real truth of the matter is? I expected it to be bad but just how bad is it really?
I wonder if President Trump would consider a pause on all income tax for 2025. Can you imagine it. What started out as a temporary 1 percent is an industry.
The more dollars that are printed/created to cover this means each dollar is worth less. Thus it takes more dollars to purchase groceries or whatever you are buying.
“why is there inflation? “
Most people live on a certain amount of money,
they can’t get a raise in pay, just because!
There is only so much production(money)
out there.
Government creates money out of nowhere without to regard of the production to back it up,
that is why things cost more.
My example, it takes takes the same amount of labor, time, materials, and effort to build, but the F-150 has tripled in price over the last ten years!
Why?
Thank you . When I read through again, I saw this number (2.7 T) is since 2003, it’s a lot , but not surprising.
