The lefty media are trying to hide Minnesota’s massive fraud scheme

The mainstream press tends to treat fraud in blue-state bureaucracies as a regrettable accounting issue, not a governing scandal. When the story is Minnesota, the instinct is to downplay scale, soften responsibility, and pivot to worries about “stigma” for beneficiaries. That framing is convenient, but it is not honest.

If billions can be siphoned through social-services programs, that is not compassion. It is institutional negligence married to weak oversight and political protection. Conservatives care about a safety net that is real, not one that becomes an invitation to organized theft while working taxpayers are told to foot the bill.

The stakes are basic: public trust, rule of law, and fairness to taxpayers. A government that cannot verify identities, contracts, and payments cannot credibly ask for more money or more power. The principle is simple: competence and accountability are not optional when the public’s money is on the line.
