Something is wrong when the biggest job in New York is home care: 650,000 people. Family members are getting paid for checkbooks, groceries, and rides to the doctor. CMS has no way to know if it happened. Medicaid is paying for fraud as much as medicine.

How does a Pakistani national allegedly orchestrate a $650 million fraud scheme in Arizona’s Medicaid system? Government keeps paying first and asking questions years later.

In 33 months more than half of federal spending goes to Americans 65 and older. We have about the same number of 18 year olds as 20 years ago and twice as many 65 year olds. The math is going to win this argument whether Washington admits it or not.

In about six and a half years the Social Security trust fund hits zero. It was never a vault. It is a pay-as-you-go promise with fewer workers under it every year. Pretending that math is optional is how you end up cutting the very seniors you claim to protect.

Over the next decade we’re on track to have 5.3 million fewer people in the country. That is roughly $500 billion that never shows up to help pay the bills and fewer workers left to carry the weight of an aging country on their backs.

You can pass every tax hike Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have offered and it still only gets you about 2% of GDP. So far this fiscal year, Washington is borrowing almost 8% of GDP. Anyone see a math problem?

Last year we spent $1.2 trillion just on interest. It was the second largest expense in the federal budget. For every $1 we take in, we’re spending $1.43. Anyone calling this sustainable either can’t do math or doesn’t care about your kids.

A child born today owes 104% of their lifetime income to Washington to cover federal retirement promises. The fix is lower interest costs, real Medicare Advantage reform, and finally legalizing the tech that actually cuts medical bills.

Arizona had $2.8 billion in sober-living fraud. A $1,500 accounting AI package could have found it immediately. Paying fraudsters first and chasing them later is insane. Stop the money before it leaves.

Democrats love to argue that illegal immigrants pay into Social Security. Yes, some pay with fake Social Security numbers. That is a little money. But read the Social Security actuary report. The part they leave out is the suppression of wages from millions crossing the border during the Biden years. Working-class Americans are competing with that labor now. That was the great cruelty.

This is the US Government as a household: $52,000 in $73,000 out $1.3 million upside down. And next year these numbers get worse.

Politicians scream at each other over scraps while Medicare Advantage spits out $84B in overpayments in a single year. That’s almost $1T in misaligned incentives we could fix in one reconciliation bill that pays for real health, not for coding seniors as sicker.

By 2036 there are only about 4 million 18-year-olds. The political class is racking up debt like 10 million kids are about to show up and bail them out with their paychecks.

Every 13.5 seconds, Washington borrows another $1 million. The data says my three-year-old would need every dime he will ever make to pay for promises the federal government has already made. Welcome to the morality of the modern Congress.

Our gross national debt passed $35 trillion on Monday. The math isn’t partisan. It’s not Republican, nor is it Democrat. Doing the math is MORAL. We need to be willing to have hard conversations to save future generations. And it starts by putting batteries in the calculator.

The U.S. government borrows $63,000 per second. It's no longer your grandkids. It's no longer your kids. It's you and I — our retirement savings. Our debt actually does matter, and the wheels are coming off.

My little Matthew is 3. This country needs 104% of his lifetime earnings just to cover promises Washington already made. In less than 6.5 years, the Social Security trust fund is empty. In less than 6.5 years, the Medicare trust fund is empty. We will double poverty of seniors. That is the morality of this place now.

An average couple retiring today gets about a $76,000 bonus from Social Security. That is a horrible return. Years ago workers could have put 15% into a market sidecar and let it grow. Democrats killed it. They are responsible for the wave of senior poverty that is coming.

47% of U.S. healthcare costs are tied to obesity. And yet somehow we think it’s moral to hand someone an EBT card to go buy onion rings.

My 3-year-old should not need 104% of his lifetime earnings just to pay federal government pensions. He has not earned his first paycheck and Washington has already put the bill on him. The math always wins.
