Sorry folks there is disability fraud

38. I call you on spreading Fox Talking Points

In every area of human activity you can cherrypick some people looking for ways to scam the system.

We have the police, the FBI, and other law enforcement systems to address those issues.

The Social Security system itself is very good about regularly checking to make sure people are qualified for benefits - which is part of how con artists get caught.

So all raising a big stink about "fraud" and/or "waste" in the system does is make it look like there is an unusual amount of fraud there (which there isn't) or that the fraud isn't being addressed (by the evidence of your own post, it is). The result of creating such stinks is a political demand to cut SSI/SSDI, to make SSI/SSDI even harder to get (lengthening wait times and often cutting off poorer people because of the level of difficulty), and to add more expensive bureaucracy to SSI/SSDI system.

Fox. Talking. Points.
