it doesn t look good right now. if they don t come to a decision of $1.2 trillion in cuts, what will happen to medicare and medicaid? senator? well, under the rules, it s an across the board sequestration that could amount to a 2% cut on the provider which is what congress would probably intervene before that happens. what we are suggesting is none of that is necessary. instead of trying to fight crimes or illegal activities after they occur, what billy and i have formed is a group that recommends to the committee to stop it before it ever happens and we ve proposed a whole series of recommendations to fight fraud before it occurs and not go after the bad actors after they ve committed the illegal activity. we think of fighting fraud before it happens is a better way to save the money. congressman, you ve put together this letter to members of congress and you re working under the title fight fraud first. but is it a little too late now?
the program without cutting the benefits to the nation s senior citizens who need them very badly. it s a better way of saving the same amount or a greater amount of money than going out and cutting the benefits that seniors would cut. so fight fraud first is about preserving the benefits but make sure you get rid of the fraud. we think it can work. we have a web site set up www.americansagainstfraud.org. visit it, you ll see this is possible today. we ll link that to our web site. thanks. so nice to see the two of you together. i hope this program gets off the ground. i don t know who would be against it. thanks so much. thank you very much. thank you. coming up on fox & friends , the prosecutor who worked on the casey anthony case breaking his silence calling casey s lawyer despicable in a new tell all book. jeff ashton joins us live next hour with more details. then politicians on both sides of the aisle using inside information to make big money on the stock market.
