Talcove from LexisNexis Special Services testifying before the DOGE committee yesterday:
“What amount of fraud can be prevented in the entitlements programs and how?”
“By putting identity confirmation requirements in at the front end of payment systems, eliminating self-certification, and monitoring the back end – $1T.”
A trillion dollars sounds like a good start on cutting the budget.

Yeah, 1 $trillion as in 10^12th power, is a start. You want to see the logical conclusion of this process?
This is the largest real bill printed in the history of man. When I got the bill, the value was approx. 1/10th the value of the paper that it is printed on. Ironically, due to now scarcity, the bills are selling for well over $100 on ebay. I’m pissed, I bought 20 of them for $1 each and was giving them away as jokes/object lessons.
Oh, good Lord, that’s heart breaking. Our leaders have been crooks and idiots for a hundred years.
Worse. The huge thief, the greatest enemy of the United States was FDR, followed by LBJ and Jimmy Carter in that order. Then was Obama followed by Biden. A fistful of traitors.
Maybe we’re waking up. I hope anyway.
