News - A large amount of government spending is consumed by fraudsters.

It would be naive to believe that fraud can be entirely stamped out. Combine human nature, lots of resources, little oversight, and few incentives to stop fraud, and the potential for huge rewards and fraud will be inevitable. Societies with only modest amounts of fraud are exceptionally rare and built around hard-won social trust. Corruption is the norm, not the exception. But the United States has been one of those societies, along with a few European countries, much of the Anglosphere in recent decades, and a few Asian societies, perhaps. 🚨 BREAKING: Minnesota's $3.2 BILLION light rail extension project has been promoting so-called "Community Voices" testimonials.An investigation found that the vast majority of the individuals featured are tied to lucrative government contracts benefiting from the project.… pic.twitter.com/w5KWl1NzCO— Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) November 13, 2025 Ironically, for a time, at least, high social trust makes corruption easier than ever and accessible to the masses should they choose to exploit it. Unsurprisingly, a lot of that fraud has been associated with migrants from low-trust societies, where it was insane to reject any opportunity to be corrupt. The only alternative to being the predator was to be the prey.

Governor Walz, the Minnesota Department of Education, DFL-associated operatives, and Somali leaders have been raiding the piggy bank of our social programs to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars at least. Keith Ellison, our Attorney General, and Omar Fateh, the Somali politician who almost displaced Jacob Frey as Mayor of Minneapolis, were key players (and his family has been involved in both corruption and voter fraud).

A chunk of the money even goes to fund Somali rebels and gangs.

Everybody in the state, at least everybody who has real power, either benefits from it or doesn't want to touch it. It is a third rail.

It's pervasive in our society. SNAP is filled with fraud. Social Security is filled with fraud. Everywhere the government regulates or spends money is now a fraud machine. Think of how much has been poured into stupid rail projects, or especially all the climate grifting. It all adds up to trillions. “$14.6 Billion 😳Medicare Fraud Uncovered — 1 Million Identities Stolen.The DOJ has announced a major crackdown on transnational fraud, charging 324 defendants, including 96 licensed medical professionals and Pakistani executives in Illinois, for a $703 million scheme using… pic.twitter.com/3Iws1AOW5Z— 🦅 Eagle Wings 🦅 (@CRRJA5) November 10, 2025 DOGE revealed that the federal government paid every invoice it got, even if there was no accounting for what exactly was being purchased. Send in an invoice, and it was paid. For the bureaucrats, it made sense—every challenge led to massive headaches, while nobody complained if the money went out the door. The path of least resistance was to sign the checks.

When 10% of the workforce is subsidized by the government, you can be sure that you have a built-in voting bloc for Democrats. In other words, the more money you pour into organizations that are rife with corruption, the more power flows to you. Given all this, it's a minor miracle that anything gets done by the government. If you ever wondered why the Democrats went absolutely insane over DOGE, the answer is not complicated. Government is their industry. It funds a massive infrastructure that props up their power. The saving grace in America is that we still have a very vital free market sector of our economy, which spins off huge quantities of wealth. Unfortunately, the rise of socialism is taking aim and wants to kill it and live off the carcass as long as possible. We've watched that movie before, and it doesn't end well.
