You should share anger for all the taxpayer dollars being stolen and never spent on the 'victims' its supposedly meant to help.

Social programs have been funded, show poor results, then seem like dead ends because of fraud.

Stealing money put aside to help the less fortunate is far more heinous imo.

Even with the losses a lot more is provided per dollar because its done at-cost, and the majority still going to the most desperate.

If we wanted to worry about the bigges source of theft though it is wage theft by a large margin over all other forms of threat combined. And the healthcare industry is ripe with labor abuses.

You mean like Bret Favre the millionaire conservative ex-NFL quarterback's welfare scandal stealing from the poor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_welfare_funds_scan...

Or do you mean like Republican Senator from Florida Rick Scott who was elected AFTER he was involve in $1.7 billion dollars in Medicaid fraud (largest in history) and whom the Republican party embraces and endorses and has in a position of power today? https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003/June/03_civ_386....

Yes, like those. "Stealing money put aside to help the less fortunate" is bad and should be stopped, regardless of the political beliefs of whoever is doing it. The right question to ask is "is this fraud", not "which side are the perpetrators on".

Can we join together and agree fraud should be stopped rather than protecting people based on which team they are on? It's fine to question whether something is fraud or not, but once it's clear, let's shut it down and punish those responsible.

In the Democratic party, Tim Waltz, with zero proof against him personally, withdrew from the election we was running for when there was an impression of abuse.

The Republican party EMBRACED the head man involved in the largest theft in Medicare history, and he is a powerful Senator for them.

This is very much political, as I highlighted. One party acts with responsibility, the other doesn't care except for soundbites and wielding accusations as a weapon and abuse as a boogie man to say 'we can't have government, because people like our Senator steal from it' (it happens to also be the part that hates government, shockingly).
