Obama gave taxpayers’ money to Obamacare contractor to hire employees to do nothing

It has just been reported that Obama gave taxpayers’ money to Serco, an Obamacare contractor, to hire employees to do nothing. The more employees that Serco hired to do nothing, the more taxpayer money it got from Obama. At the time of the report, Serco was still hiring new employees.

This reminds me of how Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defective Obamacare website which enrolled zero people.

It also reminds me of how Obama spent $205,075 of taxpayer money to relocate and care for a single specimen of Arctostaphylos franciscana, a shrubbery which nurseries sell for $16.

It also reminds me of how Obama gave $535 million to Solyndra, claiming that it would create 4,000 new jobs. However, instead of creating those 4,000 new jobs, the company went bankrupt. The Washington Post reported that Solyndra had used some of the loan money to purchase new equipment which it never used, and then sold that new equipment, still in its plastic wrap, for pennies on the dollar. Former Solyndra engineer Lindsey Eastburn told the Washington Post, “After we got the loan guarantee, they were just spending money left and right… Because we were doing well, nobody cared. Because of that infusion of money, it made people sloppy.” CBS News reported that Solyndra had thrown millions of dollars worth of brand new glass tubes into garbage dumpsters, where they ended up being shattered.

It also reminds me of how Obama gave $16.3 million to First Solar, a company that manufactures solar panels, so the company could sell solar panels to itself.

During Obama’s presidency, the federal government repeatedly purchased soda for a cost of $3.40 per can. Obama did not express any desire to switch to a cheaper seller, such as Costco, amazon.com, or Wal-Mart – or to an even still cheaper seller such as a wholesaler. Instead, Obama repeatedly forced taxpayers to pay these outrageous prices for soda.

Obama spent $1.6 million to restore graffiti that glorified communist murderers Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.

Obama spent $50,000 on a George S. Patton impersonator.

Obama spent $75,000 of taxpayer money on a bicycle.

Obama spends $102,000 of taxpayer money each year on a “dog handler.”

Obama spent taxpayer money to hire a “mindreader.”

Obama spent federal tax dollars to pay for part of the cost of a million dollar bus stop which opened in Arlington, Virginia in March 2013. Despite its huge cost, the bus stop can only accommodate 15 people, and does not even protect them from the wind and rain.

Obama spent $2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink responsibly on the job.

Obama spent $402,721 on underwear that detects the presence of cigarette smoke.

Obama spent $630,000 of taxpayers’ money in order to get more Facebook “likes.”

Obama spent $3 million to study the health risks of dating Mexican prostitutes.

After U.S. military commanders said that they did not want a new headquarters in Afghanistan, Obama spent $34 million to build it anyway.

Obama spent $98,670 to build an outhouse at the Swede Park Trail Head in Alaska.

During the October 2013 government shutdown, while Obama was busy closing parks, memorials, and monuments, and denying death benefits to the families of dead U.S. military personnel, he did manage to spend $47,174 on a mechanical bull.

Obama spent $914,000 to study “romance as told in novels, films, comics, advice books, songs, and internet fan fiction.”

Obama spent $1.5 million each year to tell the movie industry how to portray the FBI in movies.

Obama spent $544,338 for an “Enhanced Company Profile” on LinkedIn.

Obama spent $464,272 to find out why gay men in Peru get Syphilis.

Obama’s administration funded a study to see whether or not rats’ enjoyment of the music of Miles Davis was increased when the rats were high on cocaine.

Tax dollars were showered on an Obamacare contractor to hire employees to do nothing. That's right---Serco, an Obamacare contractor---hired people to do nothing. The more do-nothing employees Serco hired, the more taxpayer money it got. At the time of the report, Serco was still hiring new employees.

There ARE two definitive ways to nail this fraud.

Falsifying Government Documents. involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958. ==============================================================================================

Time to mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act----to follow the paper trail of govt grant disbursements, and determine how Serco and govt monies changed hands. Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of Serco colluding w/ government insiders in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Serco's multiple bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wo=ire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake govt invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into Serco accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of govt funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Serco checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) DHS monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize Serco bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activities (and/or other redistribution schemes favored by the WH).

Tax fraud may also be a factor; facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from DHS accounts into personal accounts, campaign accounts, or into redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses (and campaign activities, or other redistribution schemes).

=================================================

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud, pronto.

Examine Serco personnel's tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."

On the million-dollar bus-stop in Arlington....I lived in the area noted for 3.5 years and can vouch for the episode. Arlington runs a county council operation, with massive property and sales tax income. They basically have more money flowing into their pocket than they know what to do with....so, there are creative projects like this...more or less to just spend the loot as fast as possible. Citizen outage? I’d say fifty percent of the county are people moved in within the past two or three decades. Few folks show up at council meetings, and there’s no local newspaper for the county (we survive off the Washington Post, which rarely if ever reports on Arlington).

I should also note that there’s an aquatics center planned, which originally was talked about in 2010 at around $40 million (yeah a pretty hefty amount for just a pool complex). The recent bid? It’s around $85 million and with a overage expected....may cost around $100 million.

The curious thing is that the county wants to build what is an olympic pool, with slides and a ‘lazy’ river....then market it to local kids and families. No one....at this point has talked the ticket scheme or the cost of maintenance or operations staff. The odds of the complex ever paying itself? Zero.

Federal participation? No. It’s strictly county money...bound to be mismanaged, and no one cares.

NOT EXACTLY A SURPRISE Obama gave taxpayers’ money to Obamacare contractor to hire employees to do nothing. Tax dollars went to Serco, an Obamacare contractor, to hire employees to do nothing. The more employees that Serco hired to do nothing, the more taxpayer money it got from Obama. At the time of the report, Serco was still hiring new employees.

Obama/Obamacare looting and pillaging of tax dollars never stops.

Over $5 Billion and Counting for Obamacare Websites - By Brianna Ehley, The Fiscal Times, 5/13/14

You thought Healthcare.gov had problems? A handful of state-run exchange websites—which cost nearly half a billion dollars to build—still don’t work, nearly seven months after they first went live. Largely inoperable state exchange websites in Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon and Nevada have racked up $474 million federal tax dollars so far, Politico first reported. The costs will continue to climb as states scramble to salvage the flailing websites or transition onto the federal exchange. Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defectie website which enrolled zero people. Turns out Obamacare is a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation). In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion......

....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.....can you say govt fraud?

[Liz]

WRT the million-dollar bus-stop in Arlington....I can vouch for that. Arlington operates by county council governance, funded by massive property/sales tax revenue. They have more money than they know what to do with....so, projects are invented to spend the loot as fast as possible.

You need to determine whether the city council issued "MISLEADING BOND OFFERINGS...perhaps funded by tax-exempt transportation bonds. (NOTE: Bonding means eternal taxpayer debt.)

The SEC and IRS would be interested in civil actions against city council members, financial directors, comptrollers, lawyers, financial units who might be involved in defrauding taxpayers about the city's finances in marketing materials---and if bond offerings were ballot referendums----by misleading voters/buyers for tax-exempt bonds.

How to Identify Legal Plunder

But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.

Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and DEVELOP INTO A SYSTEM.

The person who profits from this law will complain bitterly, defending his acquired rights. He will claim that the state is obligated to protect and encourage his particular industry; that this procedure enriches the state because the protected industry is thus able to spend more and to pay higher wages to the poor workingmen.

Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. THE PRESENT-DAY DELUSION is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it.

King Barack can give our money to any crony he chooses. He is the unrighteous steward who makes friends in low places with ill-gotten gains.

[Soul of the South]

“King Barack can give our money to any crony he chooses. He is the unrighteous steward who makes friends in low places with ill-gotten gains.”

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives control of both appropriations and revenue. The House can defund any activity, program, or department of the federal government at any time it wishes. The fact that it chooses to fund these programs, or give the President the discretion to spend as he chooses, indicates the House Republicans fully approve of the spending.

The founding fathers intentionally gave the “people’s House” control over the purse for the express purpose of keeping the executive branch in check with respect to spending. Conservatives and Republicans can either continue to complain about the President or cut off the flow of money. It is their choice. If you are in a Republican district, ask you Congresscritter why he or she and the party are complicit.

Everybody should read Bastiat's The Law.

Such buys many votes!

If anyone believe that this is simple wasteful spending, you are incorrect.

A portion of this money is given back to the DNC as campaign donations.

Outside of government spending,this practice is called money laundering.

I don’t see any evidence that they lied on the forms. They were supposed to get paid to hire people to do nothing.

[grundle]

Thanks for your comments about the busstop and the proposed pool.

[Liz]

Tax dollars are not handed out with a casual---"here do what you want with it."

Tax dollars are allocated for a specific purpose by law---hypothetically, the contractor may have taken tax dollars for one purpose, and used them for another purpose.

Contractors are required to attest to the use of the tax dollars to the grantor agency--- so if they falsified documents WRT use of tax dollars, that IS fraud.

[grundle]

OK. Thanks for the explanation.

Let us not forget the slush fund called “stimulus”
