California reports that 34% of their community college financial aid applicants were fake in 2024

[marvin martian]

California is one of the states that offers "free" community college to residents. Which, of course, means it's not free at all, the taxpayers fund it, and it's full of fraud and abuse, like every other government program in the state.

The thieves stole $10 million in 2024 alone:

Fake student aid: California colleges detect more fraudsters stealing millions

Scammers have stolen more than $10 million in federal financial aid from California’s community colleges in the last 12 months.

Trump should halt all federal aid to the state until they get this sorted out.

I'll also note I think we're seeing the beginnings of the "DOGE Effect", where states and other entities will start to root out fraud, waste, and abuse on their own, and make the findings public, rather than be publicly humiliated when DOGE does it instead.

Win-win!

They didn't "lose track" of it. They stole it and laundered it. This is intentional.

We have free community and tech college in TN, and it is free. Paid for by the lottery.
We dont seem to have any problems with ours, but we dont have the level of moonbattery going on that Cali has.

They did not "lose track".....It was laundered through fly by night NGOs right into CA dem coffers.

I truly hope people are going to be going to jail for this.

Not in that state. Best we can hope for is Trump shuts off federal funding until they can pass an audit.

Saw a clip of him this morning walking Skid Row.

Freaking billions by the politicians and their friends in LA alone. So I can't get too worked up over $10M at the community colleges statewide.

The entire state should be in receivership, honestly. They're $1.6 trillion in debt.

Democrats went through Trump's tax records until they could find frivolous charges but democrats who get involved in gigantic fraud scams are never charged. Harry Truman is credited for saying "the buck stops here" but he didn't mean it and neither do today's jackass democrats.

DOGE said something like 50% of SS applications are fraud.
I can imagine 50% of Welfare recipients are fraud.
The IRS said 30% or so of refund claims are fraud.
Medicare and Medicaid have a lot of fraud.

DOGE needs to clean the rolls of fraudsters and we might balance the budget.

Trump got fined $500,000,000 for one questionable number on a loan application, where there was no victim.

By lost track, did you mean corrupt Dems stole the money to line their own pockets?
