    In yet one more example of how the Demos stuffed state and federal agencies with blood sucking criminals, here is a shared post on the OIG's annual audits. It would be wonderful if something were done with the info, and perhaps Trump will stimulate some action for things that have been historically swept under the rug. At least he is pulling the plug on a lot of the EPA nonsense and perhaps this report had something to do with it.

    OIG Semi-Annual Audit Results That You NEVER Knew Occurred

    Let’s SEE what has been going on at the EPA.
    The IG finished it’s Semi Annual Report on the EPA from the Period of Oct 1, 2017 – March 31, 2018.The Audit found $374,664,113 in WASTE AND FRAUD OVER A 2 YEAR PERIOD!

    ✅The IG found the EPA ILLEGALLY Paid $1.5 Million for Subsidized and Unoccupied Parking Spaces Over a 2-Year Period in MULTIPLE CITIES.
    YES, you read that right. The EPA WAS PAYING FOR PARKING SPACES IT NEVER USED.

    ✅The IG found the EPA WAS NOT REQUIRING CONTRACTORS TO CARRY INSURANCE!
    So, if a contractor has ANY kind of a spill, it could simply default and walk away, leaving the TAXPAYERS TO FOOT THE CLEAN UP BILL.

    ✅ The IG recommended 367 people for Federal Prosecution.

    California and New York did not correctly determine Medicaid eligibility for newly eligible beneficiaries.
    OIG estimated that California made Medicaid payments of $738.2 million ($628.8 million Federal share) on behalf of 366,078 ineligible beneficiaries.
    These deficiencies occurred because California’s eligibility determination systems lacked the necessary system functionality and eligibility caseworkers made errors.
    New York did not always determine Medicaid eligibility for newly eligible beneficiaries in accordance with Federal and State requirements.
    OIG estimated that New York made Federal Medicaid payments of $26.2 million on behalf of 47,271 ineligible beneficiaries. (See reports on California at A- 09-16-02023 and New York at A- 02-15-01015.)
    New Jersey did not follow Federal regulations and CMS guidance when it developed its payment rates for Medicaid school-based services. As a result, the State claimed $300.5 million in unallowable costs. New Jersey claimed an additional $306.2 million in reimbursement using payment rates developed with unsupported costs. (See report at c A- 02-15-01010.)

    Sadly, this is nothing new. Has been ongoing for generations. You can hope it gets cleaned up, but you’re more likely to win the lottery in 50 states and then get struck by a falling satellite right after.

    Como
    If people had to pay their tax bill at the end of the tax year, people might feel differently about the waste government engages in.

    Like much of what government does, there likely is a better way to fund programs like Social Security, Medicare etc.... However, most people think it is a deal. I don't. Give me my money and let me figure it out.

    Everything the government touches gets loused-up and their solution is another government solution which means political posturing, throw more money at the problem, more taxes and regulations.

    True. But, the fundamental problem we have, is you have an entity that makes sure they get paid when the Government shuts down, votes in their own raises for themselves and their staffers. Congress has zero oversight. Remember Charlie Rangel? He was in charge of the Tax Committee, but declined to pay taxes. Congress told him officially he was "naughty". Wesley Snipes did the same thing and they threw him in Federal Prison.

    Well, it gets worse this month. October is the fiscal end of the year for the government. If they don't spend all the money they can, their budget shrinks. It is stupid, I know. But, as a Supervisor I respected in Investigations kept telling me over and over, "Stop trying to apply logic to a government operation."
