There are already some excellent inspectors general and prosecutors hot on the trail of COVID fraudsters. Most of the laundry list of spending items in the White House “Sweeping Proposal” won’t cause swindlers to lose any sleep.

The real purpose of Biden’s $1.6 billion program is to convince taxpayers that Biden gives a damn about fraud. Yet, at the same time, Biden continues twisting the law to defraud taxpayers by forgiving $500 billion in federal student loans.

He’s also failing to crack down on other programs plagued by fraud (such as federal food assistance). And the prez just nominated Julie Su to be the new Secretary of Labor — even though up to $31 billion in fraudulent unemployment benefits were paid when she was California’s top labor official.

Rather than squandering tax dollars on “tiger teams” and “‘Gold Standard’ meetings,” the best anti-fraud measure would be a COVID truth commission (recently recommended in these pages).
