I agree Lokmar.......it's insulting.
A stunning report from "60 Minutes" supported some of the more shocking claims of egregious fraud and abuse in federal spending by President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency.
The report aired Sunday evening and included interviews with Bryan Vorndran, the head of the FBI's cyber division, as well as fraud expert Linda Miller, who worked at the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Miller said she was glad to see that tech billionaire Elon Musk, who headed up DOGE, was making the issue of fraud such a public issue.
She said that much of the fraud was from foreign state actors, mostly from Russia and China. She estimated that the total amount of federal money lost through fraud every year was between $550 billion and $750 billion, and is nearing a trillion.
"What we're really talking about is nation-state actors," she said. "We're talking about organized crime rings. We're talking about using vast amounts of stolen Americans' identities to monetize them for, you know, criminal activity."
Among the more astounding claims was that nearly every American's Social Security number and other private information were available for purchase on the dark web.
