If you follow the obvious context clues he’s not talking about $80-100 billion each year. Additionally, I don’t believe you actually understand what the GDP measures or why it’s not applicable here.

I agree that the number seems somewhat inflated, but you are also comparing something that is cumulative (that $80-100B would be the total over several years) to an annual number

The quote said "over the years" not just in one year.
Totally believable.

I agree, but at the same time I saw where some of these relaxed policies that helped jump start this fraud came about during COVID. So, that would be 5 1/2 years' worth of fraud or $14.5 - $18.2B per year. I agree that the figures seem inflated, but when you consider that it has been going on for 5+ years; it does sound more believable.

Who is this David guy, and why should I believe anything he says?

That’s what I’m not sure about. $100 billion is a lot.
Although, the Pentagon has failed its 8th audit and $8 trillion is unaccounted for so…
Which fraud case is worse?

This never happens if .Gov is forced to spend ONLY what it revenues. Printing money makes it easy for people to say “why not?”

Its all rigged. Amazing how bad the corruption is.

Nick was asked how much money was fraudulently spent in Minnesota “OVER THE YEARS”. He replied $80-100 million. Not all was in one year.

I swear you are the dumbest person yo ever post here.
The fraud escalated once the American Rescue Plan was enacted.
450b is MN annual GDP.
Majority of the fraud happened over last 5 years.
Can you do the math from here, or do I need to help you with that too?
