Vice President Vance stood in Kansas City with half the cabinet behind him and delivered a warning to anyone thinking about skimming off a program meant for hungry children or needy mothers. Go and get a job instead. Paul Teller says the strongest part is not the dollar figure.
Teller makes a point the coverage keeps missing. Handing a homeless person extra cash does not fix homelessness, because the conditions underneath it are addiction, mental illness and people laid off who do not know how to pivot. He credits the administration for going after both at once.
Then Jenny Beth Martin raises the thing she has said to members of Congress with Paul Teller sitting in the room. Elon Musk said he thought a trillion dollars in fraud and wasteful spending could be found. Asked whether he meant over ten years, he said no, in a single year. Members of Congress scoffed and called it impossible. Every month since has produced another number, and she says he was right.
The last two minutes are the part with a vote attached. H.R. 9576 is on the House floor this week, and it would put the Justice Department's fraud division into statute with a Senate confirmed head. A division created by memo can be erased by memo. Teller says the bill may have legs, because nobody wants to be on record in an election season voting against fighting fraud, and he argues this is the rare fight that should be nonpartisan. He also counts more than five hundred House-passed bills sitting in the Senate.
