Several people in Pennsylvania were charged with allegedly stealing a total of $287,000 worth of welfare benefits in April, with some of the benefits being used to buy heroin, according to Pennsylvanias Office of the Inspector General.
The Office of the Inspector General expects to recover a total of $287,659 from the charges filed, mostly from food stamp fraud, Lehigh Valley Live reported.
The alleged fraudsters stole $187,241 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program benefits, $46,494 in subsidized day care, $37,052 in government-funded benefits such as Medicaid, $11,348 in monetary assistance, and $5,523 in the Low Income Energy Assistance Program.

If heroin was legalized they’d suddenly get out of bed, get jobs, get their daily fix, and pay their mortgage.

Deadbeat druggies who will be in prison. So where does the government go to claw back the benefits?

No, no more than criminalization has accomplished that. But legalization would lower both the amount of money spent on drugs and the fraction of that amount that finances violent criminals.
