How many?

No idea.   I think when you look at fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, SS disability and most govt assistance programs its likely pretty high.   My best guess is 50% or greater.  

Mind you it goes beyond laziness.   Many don't work because assistance is greater than pay and they refuse to work their way up.

So 50% of all those programs are just people running a scam?

Do you have any evidence to support that?

Its not all just a scam or fraud.   It can include people who could work but won't.   I guess that depends on if you call that a scam or taking advantage of the system.   After all are they breaking the law?

Did you watch that 60 Minutes video on SS disability fraud.   I think there was 50% or greater number put out in that.

No I haven't seen that, but you'll understand why I say you're full of shit when you're making sweeping judgements with almost no evidence.

All you have is that weird hatred for your own species like we talked about.

I know I've seen some numbers.   I don't have time right now to look it up.

Hatred for my own species?   You have no idea what type of person I am and how I treat my fellow man thru actions or giving.  Sorry if my reality of the real world human nature interferes with your Utopian idea of mankind.

I never harped on that as I understood that has ties to retiree's as well as people capable of not working or working part time because the markets have performed so well.

Your willingness to believe the worst about the least amongst us tells me all I need to know. You don't like people, especially poor people.

Believe what you want but wanting a hand up for people at times in place of hand out does not make me think down on anyone.   In fact quite the opposite.   It means I think they are capable while you on the other hand think they are not.

He’d spend $20 billion in investigation costs to save $2 billion in fraud. Truth.

Lol. Back to the conservative boilerplate shit. 

I've been observing this phenomenon for well over a decade. There are a fuckton of people that simply hold the entire human race in contempt.

Plenty here did and it goes hand in hand with REAL employment numbers. If 62.9% was the number in 2016 and is the same number in 2018 how is the employment number different now?

Wouldn't you if if save the country $100 billion over 50 years?   Its pretty obvious why the left doesn't want to look into it.   It might lose votes and the truth might actually come to light.

And I've been observing the phenomenon of the left looking down upon people thinking they are simply incapable of things.   Voter ID comes to mind.   "Well its unfair because minorities are too stupid to get a voter id."

There’s a reason why Walmart doesn’t attach electronic, anti theft monitoring devices to cosmetics at Walmart. Even though they’re the #1 item involved in thefts.

I grew up in part on the east side of St. Louis. Tough place. Even in the 1960’s and 70’s. By the time I was 10 years old I’d seen more dead bodies laying in the street than most people have seen in there entire lives. Doesn’t give me any greater insight into anything. I’d rather had not gone through those days.
