All veterans paid taxes also so there’s that in common but that’s about it, u don’t know thaf veteran’s story to say what he does and doesn’t deserve in benefits, there are doctors and evaluations that make the determination. Do u even know what it takes to qualify for VA benefits and how hard it is to get a service connected approval?

1. This did not happen
2. Well, it happened, but it’s a rounding error.
3. It happened, and here’s why it’s a good thing.
4. You homophobic, racist, misogynist, you need to be imprisoned.


I assume this is what we will hear

this is less than the amount the cia guy stole. that was closer to 200 million. yet he plead guilty to only one count of wire fraud. some say the cia guy was up to his eyeballs in ukraine fraud. yet bessent wants to go after people who get a social security check a week after they die?

So only .0047% of those payments were fraud?

What data are you using to create this number? I can't see it.

You’re fricking retarded or uninformed. It’s not very hard to get disability in the military anymore. Hopefully it’s fixed soon. Too many desk workers saying they have PTSD when they never saw anything.

What probably needs to be done is to fire, demote or transfer government managers who fail to root out the fraud in their departments and keep rousting them until we find someone who actually gets the job done.

That's what Giuliani did with the police in NYC back in his day.

Here's the question I have. I thought all this had already been done well over a year ago? Why was this not done already? I'm glad it's being done, but I figured it already had.

One of the reasons Louisiana is what it is. An old man living there thinking its okay to steal money using a dead parent. Tell me did you steal their property while they were lying dead in front of you. Ya piece of garbage.

I did the same math out of curiosity. A reasonable question would be is the administrative costs of finding the fraudulent payments more than the actual amount saved. I can’t see how 175M would exceed administrative costs, so no, total savings suggests not effectively run.


I did the same math and with 360K less federal employees we are finding a quarter trillion in fraud.

Tell me you flunked simple math without having to tell the board

Boy you sure sound like one of those pencil pushers who sat at a desk and claimed disability.

If the govt cracked down on it unfortunately some who truly served the country and were wounded would have benefits reduced while clowns like you laughed about still getting your check.

Its an absolute shame people who served in the govt, one who in good faith set aside programs for those deserving.....only to see arholes rape the system.
