fraud, waste and abuse

We have heard a great deal about fraud, waste and abuse in 2025. As those who seek fraud in the federal government have found, it does not exist in any great quantity. Some of the numbers tallied as “fraud” are for programs that were funded by congress that the current administration finds objectionable.

However, there is fraud that occurs—and is uncovered over the course of time. For example, see this story, 5 arrested for collecting thousands in fraudulent FEMA claims from Palisades, Eaton fires

The fraud was not committed by FEMA, but by false claims being made for the Los Angeles fire storm.
