Seems like great way to create fraud $50 at time, when you can just overcharge for Medicare advantage for billions

SNAP is a USDA program. It's literally farm support. It began when so many kids were malnourished they couldn't recruit fit soldiers and sailors. So it's vital to the national defense. Chew on that, red America!

"Loss leader of cruelty" is a spot on description.

If you wanna commit fraud, you gotta go big or go to the slammer.

What even is “student loan fraud”!?!

jsweetli.bsky.social•1 day ago

good question

I’m more concerned about student loan “fraud.” Why the hell would they need that information? It makes no sense.

welfare benefit fraud is already heavily screened and scrutinized by the folks having to do the interviewing on its own. (As someone who had to do that job)

Student loan fraud occurs not at the student level, but at the institution level, like with Trump University.

Well- that would be such a tedious time consuming job. You get so little in food stamps this should keep fElon busy for next 4 years. The richest guy in the world takes food out of babies mouths. It’s his Lex Luther moment!

Caseworkers already get this info. Also they can be fined and thrown in jail for doing what Musk is trying.
