LOL! Cut Miami Vice a break! For some reason when an article is posted, there is no way available that I know of to be able to proof-read the title. I’ve gotten stuck with some titles that would disappear...

(Nevertheless it is funny...)

Above should read, “I’ve gotten stuck with some titles that I WISH would disappear...”

This does not demonstrate government competence (now that’s an oxymoron). To the contrary, this is really an indictment of big government. The reason we have so much tax payer funded fraud is because there are so many big government programs. If people paid for more of their health care, there would be less fraud, waste and abuse. We would also have competitive pricing.
The Feds and bureaucrats like to trumpet this type of ‘victory’ to justify their own jobs which are ultimately dependent on, you guessed it, fraud.
