The cuts to several states come amid an escalating fraud fallout fueled by a dubious YouTube investigation of Minnesota day cares.
The Trump administration on Monday said it had slashed billions in social services funds to a handful of blue states as part of its escalating response to new and unproven fraud allegations in Minnesota.
The Department of Health and Human Services will freeze $10 billion worth of federal grants to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York, an HHS official told HuffPost, confirming news first reported by The New York Post.
It’s not clear whether the freeze was inspired by specific fraud allegations or solely for political reasons. Officials did not immediately provide a public explanation.
Do you know how many people would flock to blue States if they thought their taxes were going to be spent on anything that will benefit them?
More people would flock to blue states if they could do basic math surrounding long term cost of living expenses.
So…they’ll leave the states where taxes above and beyond what they pay are spent on them? That seems like an incredibly ignorant response, so it tracks.
Before calling others ignorant, you should try to properly comprehend what you respond to.
