Newt Gingrich Think About It:

The Minneapolis big government socialist scandal is so enormous ($1 billion to $16 billion lost depending on who you listen to). It may be the decisive moment in defining corruption and fraud as the core nature of big government socialism. Its incompetent bureaucratic systems and inherently power-oriented allies are already central themes in American politics.

It may amount to $400 billion or more stolen every year. That means every American is paying a $1,000-plus corruption tax annually. It is one more piece of the affordability problem established by the Democrats, their big government socialist philosophy, and their money-focused allies.

Not every American, just those that pay taxes.

Some math presented without comment. There were roughly 163m tax returns filed last year. Of those, roughly 60% (97.8m) owed federal income tax over the course of the year. A couple assumptions (a) potential scope of $1b to $16b in losses across federal and state programs, and (b) 75% of the funding was directly from feds or indirectly reimbursed by the feds and the rest from Minn (I’m estimating here because quick google search is unclear). That means the average cost of this to the average non-Minn taxpayer was between $7.66 to $122.70. It’s even higher for Minn taxpayers (roughly $10 to $160). These are a little skewed because some of these were Medicaid programs that even people who didn’t pay federal income taxes did pay into that system via payroll tax.

This is only what’s been uncovered in one state that is middle of the pack in population (22nd with ~5.8m)…. If you just took a proportional number (1:1 in terms of loss per taxpayer) and applied it to California based on population those numbers go up by 6.83x or $52.32 to $838.04 per non-CA taxpayer.

That depends on Trump's tariffs. When they go up, so do the farm subsidies.

I would honestly assume at least 80K of my taxes go straight to corruption.
