Californians have a right to be angry about Minnesota. It’s getting all the federal government attention for its illegal immigration, street violence, fraud and graft when California, in fact, is the king of all those civic sins.
Yes, Minnesota and its lead city, Minneapolis, are impressive in the scale of fraud, estimated currently at billions of dollars, according to the Cato Institute’s recent “Fraud Update.” Not bad for a blue state, especially one with just 5.8 million people.
But let’s be honest. Minnesota’s inhabitants are mere pikers compared to those in the Golden State. There, the level of fraud and corruption, immigrant and otherwise, has reached shocking levels.
As the state’s plans to hike taxes on anyone who’s been successful drives more people from the state, it’s left with fewer solid citizens, and more noncitizens, crooked politicians, corrupt “foundations” and charities.
This is not just opinion, in case you’re wondering. As the jokey-but-dead serious“Wall Street Apes” X account reports, cribbing from a Fox News Report:
The fraud being exposed in California is INSANE
— 18% of THE WHOLE COUNTRY’S home health care billing is coming out of Los Angeles County
— One doctor billed the government $120 million in a single year claiming to oversee 1,900 patients
— With almost 2,000 hospice agencies, Los Angeles County has more than 36 states combined and 30X MORE than the whole state of Florida and New York
‘How is that possible? And take a look at this map, a cluster of 287 hospice providers, in a two-mile radius, some in strip malls, unmarked buildings, even a wrecking yard and vacant lot. All of it is just paperwork. I could fill that out in Kazakhstan if I want and get a hospice license waiting for me.’
And this is only one type of fraud of many now practiced in-state.
