I contested the outrageous exaggeration and no one has provided any proof.

OK, perhaps I jumped the gun on labeling you, and I apologize. But I'm not ready to concede "outrageous exaggeration". There are thousands of scams from welfare to food stamps to tuition to housing and rents to furnaces to summer camps and utility assistance, and numerous more.

If you try to look them up, the first warning that you get from researchers is that "this is nearly impossible to quantify". Statistics are fudged, hidden and never reported. I'm also certain that there are many scams not even announced or known yet.

You could (IMO) reserve your disgust for the people cheating the poor and the unfortunate, and not take it out on the people paying for it

It may not be "millions of people", but it certainly totals up to hundreds of millions of dollars..........and I for one am tired of coughing up the money, then being hated and called an uncaring racist.
