That's a large criminal case.

I think at the end of the day, California is just starting to ramp up.

New York is starting to ramp up.

You are exactly right.

If you look at the GAO report,

It estimates anywhere from $500 to $700 billion a year, which is about a third of the discretionary budget of the United States, is wasted, either through going to dead people, going to ineligible people, going to foreign con men, going to domestic con men or con women.

That is something that you don't need Congress to fix if you just enforce the rules that are on the book.

And there's some really simple things that I think you'll see J.D.

Vance get done right away.

Most grant programs, most entitlement programs still don't check the dead person database at the Social Security before sending out a check.

Now that's just simple, basic due diligence.

That could save a lot of money or tens of billions of dollars just doing that.

Checking to see if someone says that they're living in Alabama, but their check is being sent to Moldova or Russia, not to pick on any particular country that would find a lot of the foreign fraud that we saw rampant during the COVID-19.

It's like that easy, literally that easy.

Yeah.

i have the former comptroller of the united states who's i think one of the smartest guys to he's been saying this for 20 years nobody's been listening to him i think jd vance has dialed in uh these three simple recommendations from the comptroller of the united states the third is go in there every year the gao identifies high-risk programs programs that clearly don't have protections in place that have a long history of wasting money just implement the recommendations which most agencies have not done

Those three things, the Comptroller of the United States said, could save between $300 and $500 billion a year.

Not a single law needs to be passed by Congress.

Not a single rescission needs to happen.

Just that alone.
