Entitlement fraud might be 25% of our entitlement spending.
I think you greatly underestimate people's incentive, ability, and opportunity to commit fraud with federal dollars.

Nearly every veteran is defrauding the VA disability system. As my retired vet friends say, don't hate the player, hate the game.

What if I told you they were one in the same?

Fix the entitlements and the fraud isn't attractive. Kill the entitlements or severely cut them. Build in automatic cuts based on debt or GDP ratios. But all the "conservatives" here will ***** that they paid into SS so it's their money. We paid TAXES. That has been established over and over. The first beneficiaries of SS were paid with someone else's taxes. Same as today.

Kill the dumbass "safety nets" and then no one has anything to fraudulently take advantage of.

No. Social security contributions began Jan 31 1937. The first benefits were paid beginning Jan 31 1940.
