With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Come on people. I mean yes, Illinois’ budget has exploded since the influx of Covid money and Childcare subsidies have increased 8 fold from that general budgetary increase, but you need to ignore that and what you know about Illinois politicians. There is no evidence of fraud yet because the mainstream media and the internal affairs people have told you there is no evidence. Never mind that they wouldn’t see fraud if it took up residence on their nose. After all you can’t expect Illinois politicians to survive with just stealing from you mopes. They need to diversify and steal… Read more »
The innocent people getting caught up in this is what the fraudsters and grifters count on. The abuse of the PPP loans and the fraud in MN is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine what the fraud is like in a city of Chicago’s size. Simple solution – show up in a federal office with an ID for you and your dependents, it gets verified in the system and you get your money. Then it goes back to electronic distribution. Just like voting- the Dems take advantage of the people they purport to protect and when they get caught… Read more »
Based on a recent audit of social welfare programs in Minnesota showing fraud and back dated documents does this come as a surprise?
What if the withholding of funds is financially motivated, i.e. there is evidence of Medicaid and/or SNAP and/or other welfare program fraud in these states? What if the accusation of “politics” is just a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy?
The answer is simple. IL needs to turn over all records for daycare centers to close down fraudulent centers and arrest those criminals. Unless the Democrats are involved in the fraud and are protecting the fraudsters. Don’t punish citizens for corrupt politicians. IL wouldn’t have to waste taxpayers money by suing if the just would cooperate. But IL Democrats not interested in identifying fraud. That’s why Dems won’t turn over voter lists.
Now is the time to start dismantling the Welfare State and restoring American values.
I think if the federal government could eliminate fraud and waste we would have a balanced budget.
I’m sure the courts will strike this down pretty quickly and force payment. Just more political theatre.
Unfortunately correct in a system full of Obama/ Biden SJW judges. Let’s see how much prison time the one in WI pulls for sneaking the illegal out the side door. Smart money is on little if any.
We are dealing with Trump 2.0 here, boy. Trump and his administration aren’t winging it unlike last presidency. I’m sure HHS has overwhelming of evidence of fraud to these five states. Remember, Biden during Covid stopped requiring proof of how this money was being spent. The article doesn’t even say the money is frozen it merely says “The five states must submit justifications and documentation before payments are released”. Like submitting a receipt to your job for reimbursement, it’s literally as simple as that! Yes, a rogue judge here or there maybe try to reinstate these payments but said judge… Read more »
Love all the downvotes. For those too slow to read it, a judge smacked this down and is forcing payment, just as I predicted. All political theatre.
