[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8917255, member: 683408"] Not that ANYONE here would actually watch this (It's not Trump telling you what to think), but it's interesting. [URL unfurl="true"]https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/oversight-of-fraud-and-misuse-of-federal-funds-in-minnesota-part-i/[/URL] Comer opens by claiming that fraud in MN has caused people to not get benefits they should get, which is not the case. People are not denied benefits if they are eligible. Comer goes on to say that MN gets federal grants to pay for the programs, which is not true. Minnesota is a net-positive tax contributor, giving over $20 Billion more to the Fed than it gets back. In expressing his "concern" about people not getting benefits, Comer fails to mention that Trump is the one who intends to cut funding to MN, which is what will actually will strip all ELIGIBLE people of benefits. MN is net negative when it comes to taxes given to the feds, and funds received back. Without the $23 Billion in excess we give the feds, Comer's own state of Kentucky would not be funded. They'd be $23 Billion in the hole. He forgot to mention that fact during his opening speech. An interesting detail to forget, when one wants to paint a narrative, huh? Maybe the GOP needs to fix their own shit, before they worry about others'. [/QUOTE]
