Friend, somewhere between $233 and $521 billion in taxpayer money disappears to fraud every single year. Not misplaced. Not mismanaged. Stolen. And Washington's response? Wait for the money to be spent, then try to claw it back. They call it "pay-and-chase." We call it inexcusable. This bill stops fraudulent payments before they go out — not after. It creates a permanent Inspector General at Treasury, locks in critical anti-fraud data tools before they expire in 2028, and builds real infrastructure instead of another temporary task force. It cleared committee — but on a strict 23–17 party-line vote. That's the tell. Permanent fraud oversight means permanent accountability, and accountability has enemies. If this doesn't get a floor vote, the tools expire, the watchdog never gets built, and the bleeding continues right on schedule. The fraud doesn't stop until someone forces it to. That someone is us. Thank you,
