Hard Truths: NEW RELEASE – Policy Brief: Extinguishing the Collective Dumpster Fire: Addressing Fraud for Socio-Economic and Political Stability in 2026

I’m starting the new year off right over here, with a new Policy Brief addressing the sticky and increasing problem of fraud in government.

Fraud and corruption often go hand in hand, and have certainly been around in some form forever. However, many factors have complicated addressing it, and with the rise of social media and the American public’s general awareness increasing, the issue has hit all time highs in the average Americans’ line of sight.

Please see the following brief, which discusses fraud, cites examples impacting all levels of government, and offers distinct, proven policy recommendations and cultural norms that have been shown to fight the problem head on.

Thanks for reading!
