I don't imagine you'll find anyone to disagree with you on this.
The question is -- and always has been -- what percentage of people getting help have no recourse vs. the "cheaters" who foster a 'welfare lifestyle?'
Then you have to ask: "What is the administrative cost of eliminating those without recourse from the system?" Does it exceed the actual expense of the "cheaters?"
IOW, does the discussion over-focus on the bad apples and risk hurting disabled veterans and other disabled; the infirm and the elderly poor?
Anyone have a good source for what percentage of money goes to each group?
