Welfare fraud discussion w/ RW'er on FB: "a lot more than gov't stats show"

[Bertha Venation]

This is what Lena said in response to a statistic I linked to (8.1% fraud in improper welfare payments in 2013): "There are the legitimate needy and there are abusers, a lot more than the Gov. statistics show. I worked for the Fed. Government so I know a little about waste, fraud and abuse. Let it go."

Let it go? Let it go? Oh, I don't think so. Now I'm pissed.

Off to surf for more stats. Meantime, anyone have any handy links at their fingertips?

1. Health industry groups commit more fraud on the government than food stamp recipients.

And fraud and waste by defense industry profiteers surpasses any other.

How much fraud and deceit happens in the financial industry?

'Lena' wants to point fingers at those petty deceits that anger her blackened heart, but, she'll have nothing to say about the MASSIVE REDISTRIBUTION of our tax dollars pouring into the deceits by financial and defense and healthcare ripoff industries.

2. Spot on. To rage about welfare fraud is ROF-laughable. She sure doesn't seem to be the swiftest.
