Three Democratic-led states accounted for the vast majority of
unemployment fraud since 2020, according to an initial survey of such
fraud by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

California, New York, and Massachusetts tallied nearly 80% of improper
unemployment insurance benefits handed out since 2020. An initial review
of claims by DOGE found $382 million in fraudulent payments.

The DOGE audit found that “24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in
benefits,” “28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in
benefits,” and “9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future
claimed $69M in benefits.”

“In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k,” DOGE added in
a post on X.

Of those flagged claims, California, New York, and Massachusetts accounted
for over $300 million.

“California, New York, and Massachusetts accounted for most of these
improper claims, totaling $305M in unemployment benefits,” said DOGE.
“Additionally, California accounted for 68% of the unemployment benefits
paid to parolees identified by CBP on the terrorist watchlist or with
criminal records.”


White House spokesman Harrison Fields said the revelation is an example of
the kind of governance that pushed people to move from deep blue states
such as California and New York to Republican-led states such as Texas and
Florida.

“There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states that have
mismanaged their economies and driven residents to the nearest Republican-
led state,” Fields told Fox News. “High taxes, poor stewardship of
taxpayer dollars and progressive policies continue to yield negative
results, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE.”

California, New York, and Massachusetts are under solid Democratic
control. Democrats control the governor’s office, the state House, and the
Senate in each state, while also having the offices of secretary of state
and attorney general as well.

DOGE is spearheading the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce waste,
fraud, and abuse in the federal government. DOGE analysts have been
working with government departments to identify potential wasteful
spending and spending that does not align with President Donald Trump’s
priorities.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced $5.1 billion in cuts to Pentagon
spending on Thursday that were identified by DOGE.

“This one is, as they say, a big one,” said Hegseth in a video posted to
social media. “We’re signing a memo right now directing the termination of
$5.1 billion in DOD contracts – not million, that’s with a B – $5.1
billion in DOD contracts.”

Fraud, and Incompetence has no State boundaries. Simply an entrenched

Unfortunately, those three states are simply huge organized criminal
enterprises. My father’s side of the family is from Mass., been there
since the day my paternal great-grandfather arrived from Ireland. My mom’s
father immigrated from Italy to NYC in 1902 and most of my kin on that
side still live on Long Island. Fortunately for me, my dad was stationed
at Eglin AFB in Florida when I was born and he took a liking to the
weather and stayed. Years ago I enjoyed visiting NYC every couple of years
but today I wouldn’t even drive through it to get to the other side. Same
with Massachusetts. My wife of 46 years was raised in the Bay area of CA
and she has no desire to even visit since her father died. I hope the
voters of these states get their act together soon and recall every one of
these criminal politicians, starting with Schumer, AOC, Newsom, Pelosi,
etc. Their wealth is so obviously ill-gotten that seizure and forfeiture
are not only called for but essential! You’d be going to jail you if you
couldn’t explain how you came to have millions and millions and millions
and millions so why do they get away with it?

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

They get this wrong, the rest of their "findings" are
not to be trusted either.
