4) The Swamp to the Rescue: Democrats Scheming To Use Taxpayer Dollars to Re-Elect Biden
|

Yes, this is of course illegal, but that never stops Democrats in their quest to retain power.
Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris held a closed-door meeting with left-wing voting activists and then announced a “four-part strategy” to use the full force of the federal government to create a voter turnout operation that’s designed to aid Biden’s re-election.
The Education Department will use work-study funds to pay students for ‘get-out-the-vote activities, voter registration … or serving as a poll worker.’

The Department of Homeland Security will register voters during naturalization ceremonies, something private groups used to do.
All of the Social Security Administration’s 1,200 offices and all national parks will display signs urging voter registration.
And liberal groups are working directly with federal agencies on voter registration, including the Department of Agriculture, which was exposed in memos obtained by Judicial Watch.

A 2022 directive from the Education Department makes clear that federal work-study funds “cannot be used…for work involving partisan or nonpartisan political activity, including party-affiliated voter registration activities.”
Now the agency says it misread the law and will allow the hiring of an army of college students using taxpayer dollars to get out the vote. At the same time, the Education Department is suggesting universities provide drop-box locations and early-voting sites for students.

5) The Fastest Growing Component of Federal Budget: Fraud
|
|
An analysis by the Heritage Foundation finds erroneous payments by programs from Medicare to Medicaid to Food Stamps to the Covid PPP payments have grown more than 500% over the past 16 years. Improper payments grew at twice the pace of all payments meaning fraudsters are getting away with more tax dollars than ever before.
|
|
How much does this add up to? The Government Accountability Office estimates $200 billion in 2022. Health care, food stamps, and unemployment benefits are the biggest blundering agencies.
Someone needs to tell Bernie Sanders that before he calls for new “soak the rich” taxes, how about finding the fraudsters and getting our money back?
