The White House on Thursday called on Congress to dedicate $1.6 billion toward addressing fraud within coronavirus pandemic relief programs, pushing for money to help victims and strengthen prosecutors targeting fraudsters.
President Biden will use his upcoming proposal, expected to be released next week, to ask Congress to allocate the money toward combating fraud, White House officials said.
Biden will ask for $600 million to be used to better fund investigations and prosecution of those engaged in “major or systemic pandemic fraud,” targeting offenders who have stolen the largest amount of funds. The money would be used to hire more prosecutors and investigators for those cases.

Why don’t you claw it back form all the money you have thrown away in Ukraine!

$1.6B to fight fraud?
Okay. And I know where 10% of it is going ...
We should approve $10 billion dollars to approve battling fraud from the Biden administration and from the democrats in congress. Call if the war on fraud (wof), and I’m pretty sue that the investigators will be working 24/7/365 for years, and might have to hire some 87,000 WOF agents.
I imagine FJB wants to hire Skyyyy’s ass to fight “COVID aid fraud” once he finishes kicking the Russkis asses. Needs mo’ money. Big money.
Throwing bad money after bad administrative decisions.
Like they weren’t ALREADY paying us in pesos.
There is a practical summation of monetary policy, called Gresham’s Law, an observation in economics that “bad money drives out good.” More exactly, if coins containing metal of different value have the same value as legal tender, the coins composed of the cheaper metal will be used for payment, while those made of more expensive metal will be hoarded or exported and thus tend to disappear from circulation. Sort of like Murphy’s Law is for inanimate objects.
Sure it is. More to go into Ukraine.
Why not use some of the billions in unspent Covid money that has already been allocated by congress?
Had to make sure this wasn’t from the bee
FUBAR!
Stop the ferris wheel. I want off.
I thought this headline had to be from the Bee!
NOT Babylon Bee?
Example: Silver quarters & dimes.
Fraud Fight Fund Fules Further Fraud
...and create NEW fraud in the process.

Biden urges Congress to approve $1.6B to fight COVID aid fraud
He can give $120,000,000,000 to the ukes but has to ask for???
Millions will go to lib/prog ‘investigative’ orgs who will rake in the cash, pay off the Biden Crime Family and others and will either find little fraud or declare the issue as fixed.
But, they need to be funded in perpituity.
Sounds like a super good idea. PROVIDED the fraudsters pay back any money that was defrauded.
The goal should be ZERO COST to taxpayers.
