America’s Fraud Is Bigger Than You Think
These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
A YouTuber went to Minnesota and asked basic questions at daycare centers allegedly making millions. >> It is far worse than anybody can imagine. << A second hearing on February 10th could put Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison under oath. Chairman James Comer accuses both of either being asleep at the wheel or complicit in schemes draining taxpayer dollars from social services. President Trump called Walz a >> crooked governor. << The video got over 100 million views. Within days, federal government froze roughly $200 million in childcare funding to the state.
Why did it take a young YouTuber to find systemic fraud? Why didn't media, regulators, IRS catch it? Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Fraud, waste, abuse across federal government could be $1.5 trillion a year. Average American pays $15,000 yearly in federal income taxes, $600,000 over lifetime. $1.5 trillion equals lifetime taxes of 2.5 million Americans. If no fraud, could exempt income taxes up to $200,000 a year.
When people believe taxes are stolen, trust collapses, turning country into an LLC. People stop working, voting, paying taxes to give to thieves and countries that hate us.
In Minnesota, $9 billion in fraud and theft since 2018. >> I want them to round up anyone involved in defrauding American taxpayers of $9 billion in a very small state. << Governor Tim Walz's response: >> This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens when they scapegoat. And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy. << Fraud is fraud regardless of identity. Walz criticized Elon Musk and DOGE. Elon: >> If you want to know who's committing the fraud, look who's complaining the loudest. << From PayPal days, loudest complainers are fraudsters.
People angry, making videos to stop paying taxes, stop voting. >> If JD Vance does not push for treason with capital punishment against Tim Walz, do not vote for him. If Trump does not deliver that, do not vote for him. << If fraud proven, system allowed it. Even if incompetence, protections failed. Funding frozen after video went viral, not internal audit.
In Washington state, senator pre-filed legislation to make daycare info harder for public to access, reducing transparency.
Daycares only one part. Minnesota has liberal voter ID laws. Legal citizen can vouch for eight people to vote on election day without their own ID. Staff at group homes, shelters, assisted living, child care centers can vouch for unlimited residents.
Doesn't mean fraud happening, but system allows it on word alone, no ID. Media attacks investigator as MAGA influencer, not fraud itself. >> Fraud is fraud and a crime is a crime. If a population is creating 89% of the fraud in your state, that doesn't make you a racist. That just means you're speaking the facts. << System won't prevent fraud for votes, power, or money.
HUD in 2024: $5 billion to over 200,000 inactive accounts. HUD pays 70% rent for low-income, seniors, disabled; tenant pays 30%. Of $5 billion misappropriated: $77 million to dead people, $150 million to nonexistent SSNs, $288 million to excessively high rent, $5.2 billion to inactive SAM.gov accounts (federal master database; inactive should stop payments).
Either system broken or intentionally overridden. GAO: over 20 years, $2.7 trillion misappropriated (known amount as of October 2024; real higher).
Government tracks taxes, Venmo over $600 precisely, but not trillions missing. Both sides complicit.
There are wait lists for these programs that are years long. There is fraud. If child care is cut, I'm unable to work or go to school. I understand fraud is bad. << DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) simple idea to find fraud, but rejected as it risks exposing everyone. Neither side wants accountability.
Fraud erodes trust: people stop believing in rules, fairness, merit. Leads to >> my turn to steal. << Legitimacy requires rules for everyone or no one. Millions realize they were cheated; took YouTuber to expose.
