Sometimes they might even show up online and pretend to engage for a period of time. They do whatever needs to be done to trigger the disbursement of financial aid, and then they disappear. So, the student never existed, but the money is real.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It gets worse.

So, this professor thought he had this really hot class that he was going to be offering, and it turns out only two of the students enrolled in the class were real. The rest were all fake.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In December, Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote to Governor Walz, informing him that a recent scam had cost taxpayers over $12 million. She stated that the state had reportedly received $3 million to help verify identities and address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the uncovered fraud, House Republicans recently passed the No Aid for Ghost Students Act. However, further action is necessary. It is estimated that nearly $9 billion in taxpayer dollars have been stolen through systemic fraud in Minnesota, and this figure is likely to increase as more scandals come to light.<\/p>\n<p>Walz could have been second-in-command of our country. That would have been a disaster given he can\u2019t even efficiently run his own state.<\/p>\n<p>The nub of the problem is this, however. Democrats have, through the years, set up programs where hundreds of billions of tax dollars are doled out with little or no oversight. Of course, there will be fraud. There have been decades of fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Now that it\u2019s being uncovered by the Trump administration, Democrats\u00a0<em>still<\/em>\u00a0don\u2019t want to end these programs.
