Muchneeded reforms for this program that last year supported almost 11 million americans with 137 billion of american taxpayer money. I have closed with one remark. If you work somewhere in the federal government today, i would hope if youre seeing fraud, if youre seeing manipulation, if youre seeing things that are not right, that you will follow the lead of these four courageous women in bringing it to the attention of senator levins subcommittee, permanent subcommittee on investigations or my office.
