Tim Walz Is Exposed by More Fraud As the Minnesota House Votes to Completely Eradicate Corrupted Program – RedState
In what turns out to be a Gordian knot that leaves money ink all over you as you try to untangle the mess, Minnesota’s fraud problems continue to evolve. The amount of graft exposed in this state is enough to make you dizzy; extrapolate that to 49 other states, and your brain will be overflowing with the cascade of numbers as evidenced in the Matrix movies.
In what is just the latest example, the Minnesota State House just voted to completely remove an assistance program – Minnesota Housing Stabilization Services (MHSS) – from state statutes. The problems were so widespread that the House voted unanimously to remove the program from the legal rolls altogether. Its passage by the state Senate is expected, as that body was in the process of developing its own legislation to achieve the same goal.
Looking at this program alone, we begin to see the subterranean levels of fraud that may have metastasized into Tim Walz’s realm. There is every reason to believe that this was not only happening on his watch, but that thefts were commonplace, at least due to a lack of vigilant supervision.
It was last spring that local affiliate KARE Channel 11 News began exposing the program’s fraud and waste. As a result of this projected light, the cockroaches quickly swarmed and the program stopped making payments before Halloween. It was a decision that had to happen. Once sober minds began to take an interest in MHSS, it was denounced as a scam factory. Imagine setting up a housing program and almost immediately transforming it into one of those houses seen on the TV show “Hoarders.”
This is the very type of localized scam that has Walz’s fingerprints all over it. Established less than six years ago, the MHSS was created to help seniors and people with disabilities maintain their residence or find new housing. The anticipated initial costs were expected to be between $2.5 million and $3 million. However, in four years, this program has exceeded $100 million. How this is happening without any government oversight speaks volumes about the permissive atmosphere fraudsters have seen in this state.
In an example of the breeding ground for scammers that Minnesota had become, two Philadelphia men were arrested when it was discovered that they had come to start businesses expressly to exploit this particular government program. Walz and his fiefdom cannot lay this in the lap of the federal government to avoid responsibility; it was an operation created and managed by the State of Minnesota.
The governor seems complicit in his actions in recent weeks. He had just sat before Congress to answer for these same examples of fraud that appear like maggots when the rug is pulled out in a slaughterhouse. Walz was a mess when faced with questions in front of the microphone and was grilled so badly that, had it been a ribeye, any steakhouse customer would have sent the plate back to the kitchen for a new cut.

Then, in another move designed to clear his name but made him even more culpable, Walz outlined what he called a comprehensive anti-fraud program to remedy the billions of taxpayer dollars sucked into his state. He put this in place only a few weeks ago. At a press conference, Walz said:
“Any dollar of public money, especially that used for programs to improve people’s lives, if it goes to the wrong place, is misspent or, in this case, is stolen by criminals, we must do everything we can to pursue that.”
It’s nothing other than Walz posing in front of the barn door that he has just closed; in the meantime, all the Brahmas and Holsteins have already disappeared on the horizon. Him calling this press the day after the federal government turned off the spigot on Minnesota’s Medicaid programs was just another dose of “Look, I’m doing something” desperation.
This bill, passed by the State House, came from the Walz package, despite the program being shut down months ago. This vote virtually erased the bill entirely from the books and prevents its reconstitution. Any effort to provide the same type of aid to these legitimate recipients will require the development of an entirely new bill.

The level of fraud seen just in this snowy state tells us all that will be needed from the new Fraud Task Force established by President Trump to address this scam problem taking place nationwide. JD Vance will preside over this team, but I would venture to say that he runs the risk of ultimately looking like Kamala Harris, but for diametrically opposed reasons.
Unlike his lamentable lack of effort on illegal immigration after his appointment to More than the border tsarVance faces an inverse problem in that he seems to demand that Herculean tasks result in measurable achievements. He could achieve remarkable levels of success in his fight against fraud, but the scale of this national scandal is such that it will be more difficult for him to recognize the positive results.
