Here's a parallel example of taking the concept to its logical maxim. A hasidic community in NYC with an average 7 children per family, many 17+ kids, most on welfare. Only affording their torah studies with large families due to EBT / medicaid / etc. But they have low / zero crime and no accusations of fraud, instead they are following the system. Is that working as intended and towards a common good? We have a surplus of career minded sterile worker bees in America and these guys are churning out babies, seems like it should be no more problematic than those dead ends

And federal investigators are finally looking at Ilhan Omar and her husband
What they've shown so far is-

Tim Mynett's bank account magically went from $42.44 to over $25 million in a single year
Multiple high profile politicians were listed as 'advisors' on his LLC's website but have since said they had no more than a single phone call with him in their life and never had any business dealings- a US senator, MN rep and presidential envoy. There is zero public evidence this 'financial firm' has ever actually conducted any financial trading, investing, or any other business. Its just magically sprung into existence with $25 million being run by a political campaign chief, with no financial experience or training. They have scrubbed their website and deactivated their LinkedIn


Notably we already know that Ilhan Omar pseudo-legally embezzled millions in campaign funds by having an affair with her campaign manager, sending him those millions to run a basically non-existent campaign that she already had a 100% chance to win. Then divorced her husband and married Tim Mynett and gained access to the funds that had been donated to her campaign. Thereby technically bypassing restrictions on a personal conflict of interest with a spouse as campaign chief, or giving campaign funds to herself or family. Technically. In the most obvious and transparent quibble to avoid prosecution. Which the FEC then ruled on and permitted as legal.
BUT
Her campaign funds only totaled about $2.5 million paid to Tim Mynett
Somehow a few years later he produced 10x that out of thin air


It sure looks like the kickbacks were greasing palms at the highest levels. If Tim Walz wasn't on the payroll, he might be the only one.

MN published the report they contracted out to review the scale of the healthcare fraud in state programs. Notably this review was magically delayed for a month during Metro Surge while the state wanted sympathetic press, and its even more redacted than the epstein files with MN refusing to publicize how programs were being defrauded 'to avoid bad actors learning what to do' even though programs have been frozen entirely
Well the results are in. They found 90%+ of payments were suspect, citing an 'egregious pattern' of 'irregular claims' that ranged from 'not clinically justified' to 'nonsensical documentation'. Autism healthcare, medical transport and housing stabilization were identified in particular as obviously defrauded en masse, and they also happen to be the same ones already identified in widescale Somali fraud rings.

So yeah Minnesota's own review lays out that its pretty clear the vast majority of funding through these programs was just naked fraud, in many cases not even bothering to file proper paperwork or put up convincing front businesses or make any effort to pass an audit. They simply didn't need to. Just apply for the money, get the money.
