Waste and Fraud in Government AIDS Programs
Posted By Stephen Frank on February 7, 2010
Fraud is rampant in government program. Here is a $25 million fraud.
“Reps. Joe L. Barton (Tex.) and Greg Walden (Ore.) sent a letter Thursday to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration that raised questions about the agency’s oversight of AIDS programs. The lawmakers cited a recent Washington Post series that found the D.C. Department of Health had awarded more than $25 million, largely in federal funds, to AIDS nonprofit groups that delivered substandard services or failed to account for any work at all.
Some groups submitted employee resumes and consulting contracts with false information, including fake addresses and credentials. Others had a history of financial problems or had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on travel or executive pay.”
End the fraud by ending the special interest programs. Not a single government program is without fraud. Cut taxes by 10% and spending by 20%–end the fraud and we will become solvent again. Otherwise, keep those Washington printing presses going 24/7–we need the money to pay the crooks.
