It looks like I missed some posts while thinking or typing. I don't do either very fast, but try to do the first first.
Politics is not discussed in polite.... can't be discussed politely deal. If you never listen or talk to anybody that does not agree with you how can you defend your ideas? Michael Moore says is no better than Rush says, but if you can't hear both without being offended by either I hope for the sake of country you or somebody educates your kids better. Apathy is bad enough.
Is there fraud in the welfare system? Sure. Disability system? Just as sure. But what percentage of the dollars spent on these systems lost do to fraud? 10%? 20%? I have no idea, just trumping up numbers. Now lets look at DOD, and assume the same percentage of fraud. Betting the % would be higher at DOD, just because the defence contractor is likely to be closer in education level to a banked than somebody collecting welfare, and bankers have beat me out of more money than homeless.
While back, there was talk about a warplane the Air Force didn't need, Army, Navy, and Marines did not want, but congress voted to buy it anyway. Bet those millions could of improved a few parks...

This thread is so far off base it needs to end. All those self righteous schemers and dreamers need to go to their homeboy sites and rant there.

They quickly learn that not working and becoming receivers of benefits is the smart move.
You have millions upon millions of moochers who learned the above long ago, generations of them actually. Welfare, Disability, SSI, etc. Fraud runs rampant in those programs. It did not take Socialism nor this "this is not political" thread to get us down that road.
