glibertarian: "the minnesota welfare fraud story is really about a broken medicaid bureaucracy fixing that should be the priority, not demonizing somali immigrants"

By N.S.

"the minnesota welfare fraud story is really about a broken medicaid bureaucracy"

"federal medicaid policy creates little incentive for states to stop potential fraudsters. fixing that should be the priority, not demonizing somali immigrants."

What a dishonest hed and subhed! The minnesota welfare fraud story is about demonic somalis. If a group acts in a demonic manner, then only a fool or a liar would refuse to demonize it! I suspect that Eric Boehm (the writer) is a liar.

It must be rampant because otherwise the dems(and press) would have covered it up longer.

I have never trusted libertarians on the issue of immigration. They believe that somehow that if all government obstacles to capital formation were removed, blacks and other "people of color," especially immigrants, would become model citizens who invent all sorts of wonderful products and services to make our lives easier.

These people are clueless. Those "obstacles" are as much in play for whites as they are for blacks. Like their Leftist brethren, free-market purists simply cannot bring themselves to admit the fact that races differ by intelligence and emotional maturity.

Incidentally, I wrote a few pieces for Reason back in the late Nineties and the "Oughts." It was the magazine's aggressive denial of race and immigration reality that caused me to look elsewhere. The last Rothbardian libertarian who was honest about race was Ron Paul, and even he wimped out after the 9/11 attacks.

Well, the onebigbeautifulsh*tsandwich bill upped the Child Care Credit payoff in 2026. Turning the IRS into more of a welfare agency than it already is. The top payoff next tax season will be 50% of the child care costs, up from 35%. It's not just daycare providers pulling in money. Surely there are parents claiming phony daycare expenses to grab the tax credit and getting phony receipts from the phony daycares just in case the IRS inquires. And more than a few phony children are in the mix. Seriously, I still say there are a lot of invaders, including children, who have grabbed themselves 2, 3, 4, or more social security numbers.

No doubt,A T.,it's the reason they go by three names--they can switch them around for multiple IDs. Who can tell Pedro Luis Gomez from Luis Pedro Gomez?
