Fraud and Waste

In January of this year, I posted the following:
"Well another month has gone by and ... I am waiting to hear the president [say]... 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. "

It is six months later and there is still no hint that there will be any effort against the supposed waste and fraud. It was all a big lie. why does anyone believe Obama about anything?
