1/ They just keep making up numbers or misinterpreting numbers and then credulous online credulous people stoke the outrage. $2.7 trillion is for ALL problematic payments 2003 - 2023. This game out during the Biden administration! https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-24-107482.pdf

Did I just hear the WH press briefing question correctly? $2.7 TRILLION in improper Medicare/Medicaid payments to people overseas who weren’t entitled to the benefit? This cannot be real. The entire national debt is ~$36T, and you’re telling me that you sent checks for $2.7T to people overseas?? I am telling you right now, by the time we’re done with these audits, we will find at least $36T worth of waste, fraud and abuse. The entire national debt is waste, fraud and abuse.
