If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Why was it allowed in the first place? Following President Trump’s directive to end "egregious fraud," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced a major crackdown on individuals using public assistance to wire money out of the country. The move follows a massive $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota where welfare funds were reportedly laundered overseas to countries like Kenya and China. Bessent is prioritizing "accountability for the hardworking people of America," ensuring our safety net isn't a piggy bank for foreign interests.
Are you for or against banning welfare recipients from wiring money abroad? It is, after all, your money...

For the US to send money, either through foreign aid or by allowing non-citizens to wire money home, is absurd. Name me a country that sends us money.
ReplyDeletewhy are we giving "money" to people on assistance in the first place. We already give them food stamps, we already give them free housing; why do they need money/cash?
ReplyDeleteSince WWII our government believed sending money all over the world would buy us friends. Look at us now that we're taking our money back and their true colors are showing. They've always hated us.
