The sad truth confronting the United States is that criminals steal hundreds of billions of dollars every year from the taxpayer. To put this crisis into perspective, more taxpayer dollars go to fraudsters every year than to most federal departments and agencies, including the combined budgets of the Departments of Energy, Justice, and Interior. Hundreds of billions of dollars every single year taken by criminal actors. And there is no end to what the fraudsters will take. No program is too noble or too compassionate for a fraudster. No program is off limits for a fraudster. They will take from all of us until there is nothing left. Fraud against the American taxpayer is a crisis of the first order. President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Attorney General Blanche have taken this crisis head -on, resolved to protect the American taxpayer. Under their leadership, the federal government has launched the most robust, coordinated fraud -fighting effort the country has ever attempted. And those efforts are already bearing fruit for the American people. In the 190 days since Attorney General Blanche created the National Fraud Enforcement Division, the Department of Justice has announced over 1 ,000 major fraud enforcement actions across the country. Medicaid fraud, SNAP fraud, HUD fraud, Social Security fraud, SBA fraud, and the list goes on and on. We are on the move to protect taxpayer dollars and our taxpayer -funded programs Funded programs meant to help our elderly, our children, our sick, our hungry, and our homeless. meant to help our elderly, our children, Different programs, different schemes, but the same target in all of these cases, the American people.

Conspiracy Appeal 89%
Hidden plots, secret coordination, or shadowy actors invoked to explain away evidence.
Scapegoating 87%
