President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a task force aimed at eliminating fraud in government benefit programs.  It is long past heeded.

     The president signed an order formally creating the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and tapped Vice President JD Vance to lead the group.  Trump joked that Vance would perform better than former Vice President Kamala Harris, referencing her role addressing border issues during the administration of former President Joe Biden.  “This will not be like a Kamala where she was put in charge of the border and she never went there. JD, right, you promise?” the president said, with Vance agreeing.

     Trump RIPS Kamala Harris as a failed "border Czar" for never visiting the border "This will not be like a Kamala, where she was put in charge of the border... she was the border czar, and she never went there."  The force will coordinate government-wide efforts to combat widespread fraud, waste and abuse in federal assistance programs by implementing stronger safeguards such as identity verification requirements, documentation standards, and audits designed to prevent abuse.

     Andrew Ferguson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, will serve as vice chair of the task force. White House advisor Stephen Miller, who will act as a senior adviser, said the effort could return billions of dollars to the American people by cracking down on fraud in federal benefit programs.
