2. It's time for the Federal Government to have a special fraud department

Seriously. I know my local community is loaded with fraudsters, and the lawyers that cover for them. They are embedded in the status quo. These are probably the same people that would abuse a government relief program. So, what what we need is a branch of government that will go after them.

I don't care how you bring them down. Just bring them down.

3. When did this happen? Under who's administration?

I hope it happened during the buffoon stunt at the presidency, if not repubs are going to exploit it big time.

I don’t think either party should use this as a campaign issue.
