HHS 'Combats Fraud,' IGNORES Military-Industrial Aid
When HHS escalates a 'fraud fight' causing daycare providers to fear for their livelihoods, it's framed as a necessary crackdown. Meanwhile, the very same government channels billions annually in military aid to other nations, often with fewer stringent oversight mechanisms. Just last month, the House passed HR 8035 to provide $26.4 billion in additional military aid to Israel, a decision
following a pattern of robust, largely unquestioned, support. One might ask: where is the equivalent 'fraud fight' against the endless, opaque streams of taxpayer dollars funding foreign militaries? Is it merely coincidence that the 'fraud' we track most diligently seems to benefit our most vulnerable at home, while the less transparent channels benefit war-profiteering abroad? It appears some
pockets are simply deemed more critical to protect than others.
