Whatever though, what’s a hundred mil here and there, really?

$120 million? That’s a few junkets for Obama. Means nothing.

The big-government addicts in Washington have totally accomplished one main goal: Making huge amounts of money sound completely insignificant. Now that we’re used to numbers starting with Ts, the Bs and Ms don’t even register…

Shouldn’t that read 600 million? I thought the new thing was to take the data out 10 years, or is that only for tax increases and budget cuts? Evidently the higher numbers assosciated with fraud and waste don’t look so good over 10 years.

That $120 million figure seems a bit low when I’ve seen reports of over a $2 billion a month in Medicare fraud .. in Florida.

^perfect example of how ignorant and unserious the libtards are when it comes to anything remotely related to the economics.

Between that and getting rid of NPR you all sure have this debt thing figured out.

Nearly 3,000 illegal immigrants made thousands of claims resulting in $91.6 million in services

That’s only $30,533 per claimant.

Yeah, maybe it’s time to stop paying taxes.

They've found an ant on an ant hill: "fraud and abuse cost Medicare and Medicaid as much as $98 billion in 2011."

That amount seems small. Bet it’s much bigger than that in reality.

It doesn’t matter because it would only make a dimple in our overall financial mess.

Yeah, but it has like a 0.00001% overhead cost or something. So it’s way better run than private insurance.
