[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 97509, member: 126"] Re: Money $$$$$ I'm not sure what tax base has to do with minimum wage. I already mentioned the paradoxical juxtaposition of poor Wash DC being where so much money changes hands. Since you bring up the subject this is not so much about government workers having bad intentions, as I also previously stated it is simple human nature to be less careful about spending other peoples money. When business spends large amounts of money they are disciplined by their corporate self-interest to be rigorous in checking for fraud. The government not only has a poor track record for preventing fraud, but has openly admitted they do not have the capability to check applicants for some of the new give away programs associated with the heath care law. Judging by our recent experience with the free cell phones (many people took multiple sell-phones). I don't expect this to be low fraud. As I have posted before i wouldn't mind hiring more government workers who's only job is rooting out fraud. They could be paid for out of the fraudulent payments they recovered. If at some distant future date they run out of fraud to recapture, we can throw them a great retirement party, but I am not holding my breath for that date coming soon. It is the nature of large give away programs, always was and always will be. Nothing personal I'm sure there are many honest people in any large group. JR [/QUOTE]
