Well another months has gone by and we just heard the State of the Union speech. I was waiting to hear the president mention in the speech that he was moving ahead with the effort to cut fraud and waste in the medicare and medicaid system. After all, there is supposed to be a half trillion dollars of waste and fraud in that system -- enough to pay for over half of his proposed health care reform package. Surely there is no constituency for waste and fraud -- or at least there is no large constituency for such things.
The truth is that Obama has no intention of ever going after the purported waste and fraud. His actions make that clear.
