Talcove from LexisNexis Special Services testifying before the DOGE committee yesterday:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat amount of fraud can be prevented in the entitlements programs and how?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy putting identity confirmation requirements in at the front end of payment systems, eliminating self-certification, and monitoring the back end \u2013 $1T.\u201d<\/p>\n

A trillion dollars sounds like a good start on cutting the budget.<\/p>\n

Comment by TomD<\/p>\n

Yeah, 1 $trillion as in 10^12th power, is a start. You want to see the logical conclusion of this process?<\/p>\n

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\u2019m pissed, I bought 20 of them for $1 each and was giving them away as jokes\/object lessons.<\/p>\n
