I wouldn't be surprised to find that there's a lot of fraud in our various welfare-y programs. I imagine plenty of unemployment benefits recipients might be getting a bit of unreported money under the table, that many food stamp and medicaid recipients might have fudged a bit in reporting their assets. But the point is that if you're making the effort to, say, defraud the
school lunch program so your kid can have a crap free lunch every day, you're probably pretty fucking poor regardless. And, you know, the giant cost to government is...a crap free lunch per day.
