America is bleeding money through massive entitlement fraud, and Congress has the power to stop it immediately – but they won't lift a finger. While families across the nation face skyrocketing healthcare costs and federal budget pressures threaten our economic future, lawmakers continue to turn a blind eye to the billions of taxpayer dollars flowing into the pockets of fraudsters.

The numbers are staggering. Federal entitlement programs lose tens of billions annually to fraud, waste, and abuse, yet Congress consistently fails to implement basic oversight measures that could plug these gaping holes overnight. Why? Because fixing the problem would require politicians to actually do their jobs instead of grandstanding for cameras.

"Congress is the root cause of America's Problems! We should fire them all!" tweeted @redwhiteblue929, echoing the frustration of millions of Americans who are sick of legislative inaction.

The solutions aren't rocket science. Simple verification systems, cross-referencing databases, and basic identity checks could eliminate much of the fraud plaguing Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security disability programs. But implementing these fixes would require Congress to acknowledge their own negligence in allowing this crisis to fester.

"Congress persons benefit by the fraud in entitlements," observed @hello_sam_, hitting on a uncomfortable truth that many Americans suspect.

President Trump's administration has already begun targeting government waste through Elon Musk's DOGE initiative, but real reform requires congressional action. The question is whether lawmakers will finally prioritize American taxpayers over the bureaucratic status quo that keeps fraud flowing.

Time for Action, Not Excuses

Every day Congress delays means more money stolen from programs that should help legitimate beneficiaries. While politicians debate meaningless resolutions and stage political theater, working Americans foot the bill for a system that rewards fraud and punishes honesty.

How much longer will We the People tolerate a Congress that refuses to protect our tax dollars from thieves and scammers?

Term limits would solve this overnight.

The waste is staggering! Every dollar stolen from these programs is money taken from people who genuinely need assistance.

Follow the money - who benefits from keeping this broken system in place? Career politicians love having a dependent voter base.

Bingo! It's all about maintaining power and control.

I work at the VA and see this stuff daily. People getting disability payments while working full-time jobs under the table. Meanwhile, veterans who really need help wait months for approval.

This is EXACTLY what I've been saying for years! They have all the technology to track our every move but somehow can't figure out who's gaming the system?

Right? They can find me if I'm $5 short on my taxes but can't catch people collecting benefits in multiple states.

What specific technologies could they implement? I'm genuinely curious about the technical solutions that exist but aren't being used.

My neighbor brags about collecting disability while doing construction work on weekends. Reported it three times - nothing happens. The system is a joke.

Same experience here. They make it impossible to report and even harder to get action taken.
