An Astounding $279 Billion Stolen from US Taxpayers Each Year

M Dowling

Colin MacDonald, the assistant attorney general for the National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Department of Justice, announced this week that criminals steal hundreds of billions of dollars from taxpayers every year. They steal so much that it exceeds the combined budgets of most federal departments and agencies, including the Departments of Energy, Justice, and the Interior.

The Department of Energy’s budget is $49 billion, Justice’s is $147 billion, and the Interior’s is $83 billion. In other words, the thieves are taking nearly 300 billion or more specifically $279 billion. from taxpayers. Before now, the only major action taken was to increase their budgets and our taxes.

Criminal actors steal hundreds of billions of dollars every year. There is no end to what they will take, and no program they won’t attack. They will steal from the elderly, the poor, and handicapped children. No program is too noble for the thieves.

If we let them, as Mr. MacDonald said, they will take from us until there’s nothing left.

In the 190 days since Attorney General Blanche created the National Fraud Enforcement Division, the Department of Justice has announced over 1000 major fraud enforcement actions across the country.

Opinion

So they have been stealing hundreds of billions from us every year, and nothing has been done. Finally, these current leaders will try to stop this tremendous crisis.

Our taxes are going to corrupt criminals, many of them foreign.  It’s astounding.

If it weren’t for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Attorney General Blanche, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m afraid that if Democrats return to office, all they will do is attack the Republicans and create manufactured crises to remain in power. They will not address this issue in any way. In fact, several of them appear to have turned a blind eye to it. We only have to look at what goes on in Minnesota and California to see that.

They will leeave you with nothing.. Fraudsters are soulless.
