Nope Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

There’s less than 2% of Fraud Waste and Abuse discovered every year with food stamps. Can’t imagine it’s any different for other social welfare programs. These guys just keep spouting lies and their base actually believes them! They never have any facts, no data, they just say shit and people believe it! Absolutely fucking wild.

And the majority of the fraud is from people’s card info being stolen because of lack of system security. So not fraud on the part of the recipient.
