If There’s So Much Fraud, Why Is No One Accountable?

Headlines, so misleading that the background stories disappear within a day, sometimes hours Geared to both excite and stimulate? Examples, doge, supposedly investigators finding massive fraud in programs that Supposedly saved the taxpayers billions. The reality, useless words the fraud continua united , in fact the Somali’s, touted as a people with a 68 IQ steals billions right under the nose of the watchdogs. The super smart college grads bamboozled by the uneducated, what a waste of parents money. What passes fro eduction now is nothing more than a “get rich quick scheme” the heads the teacher’s union get paid massive amounts and the kids get dumber each year. it isn’t the children’s fault. No the leftists have become so sophisticated, the judiciary so corrupt that the average American worker/ taxpayer gets screwed royally and all we get is headlines. no action, no arrests, A lot of hot air and little action. SHOW US RESULTS, I’M tired of waiting for the HEADLINES TO TURN INTO RESULTS! Bluster stories to make us believe something is happening when it’s nor!
Congress A waste of time and huge amounts of money. Pontificating as if royalty. diverting money to be stolen from productive people. Government all setup to reward the elected and the bureaucrats. When do the taxpayers get a break? NEVER!
The Democrats seem determined to thwart Trump, Nathan Trump does or proposes gets anything from the Democrats but obstruction and objection. Why, perhaps because they have no solutions to some of our troubles. The democrats would make boobs on a bull look advantageous. They, and their cohorts the media, have decided they want complete control. California a perfect example, a government so worthless that without Washington DC giving it money it couldn’t pay its bills. It’s my opinion that both NYC and California voters shouldn’t
receive a dime from Congress. but you can be sure they will. Speaking of NYC, The voters chose Mamdani, they also should pay for his proposals. They expect “free” everything but then should bare the cost of Free! You can bet they won’t! No they’ll cry crocodile tears and the Democrats in Congress will give them money! Reality only happens to those that work!

You expressed particular concern about New York under Mamdani. Turns out New York is one of the few states that pays MORE in federal taxes than they receive in federal spending; New York is a major 'giver' state.

Kinda puts a different spin on things, doesn't it?? Interesting, also, that so many red states are taker states while so many blue states are giver states.

I can't speak for others; I support deportation of the worst of the worst, but only thru legal means. I oppose ICE's denial of due process, and I oppose ICE's lawless violation of court orders.

Wow, 96 court orders violated by ICE in less than ONE MONTH!!!

... on Wednesday, Patrick Schiltz, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, issued a remarkable order that cataloged a total of 96 court orders that he said ICE had violated in 74 different cases. “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026,” the judge wrote, “than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

This is the appendix mentioned by Judge Schlitz with the list of court orders violated by ICE

Claiming fraud is an easy thing to say. It stokes outrage, and for some politicians, thoughtless outrage is the major goal.

There really isn't much fraud in government at all, despite all the shouted claims. DOGE looked long and hard for fraud; found almost nothing (most actual DOGE cuts were about priorities, not fraud). That's why the DOGE promises evaporated so quickly.


DOGE engineer Sahil Lavingia :
Former DOGE engineer says he was 'surprised' by 'how efficient' the government is
A former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency says that during his short time embedded within the Department of Veterans Affairs, he did not find the levels of waste, fraud and abuse that he had expected and was "pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was."

... "Elon [Musk] was pretty clear about how he wanted DOGE to be maximally transparent," Lavingia said. "That's something he said a lot in private. And publicly. And so I thought, OK, cool, I'll take him at his word. I will be transparent."

Shortly after the interview was published online, Lavingia got an email. Just 55 days into his work at DOGE, his access had been revoked.
