The scandal prompted the federal government to review the eligibility of about 1,500 people receiving benefits. Pillersdorf said about 800 of those people lost their benefits. I will take a leap and believe that 50% of all claims for government entitlements are fraud. It feeds an entire industry of bribe-takers and bottom-feeders.

I agree. In those circles, it’s a badge of honor to start getting “your check” at a young age.

I have several neighbors on SSDI that are perfectly healthy. It's the new welfare. I think all SSDI recipients should be audited, as well as the doctors and lawyers who "help" them qualify.

my guess is probably closer to 75% of those collecting are fraud.
