Accountability in Food Stamp Program
In a letter to every governor in America.
No one had ever held the g- the states accountable.
The federal government funds the food stamp program.
We send hundreds of millions of dollars a day to the states, but
there'd never been a back-end accountability on how is
that money getting spent.
So we asked all the states to partner with us. It's time to have accountability.
The red states, of course, did, and with that red state data, we found
200,000 dead people getting food stamps.
We found half a million people that were getting more than one benefit.
And y'all, this was in the red states. The blue states wouldn't give us the data.
They're suing us. We're in massive litigation right now, uh,
looking to cut those
funds off until they give us that data.
But the fraud is so rampant and so stunning
that, uh, when the president, the vice president,
and our team talks about, you
know, when we can root all this fraud out, we're gonna really be able to cut the
deficit, make sure we're protecting the taxpayer,
but also make sure we're
protecting the families that rely on these programs at the same
time by getting
the fraud out.
