Frauds are frauds. Investigate, arrest, prosecute, try and punish if appropriate. In addiditon to welfare cheats we should do this to most military financiers and contractors.

$1,200 is chump change compared to the Defense budget. This is why people focus on the bigger fish.

if this person was the only one defrauding the government in this manner, then it wouldnt be a problem. but the fact is that the welfare system is rife with fraud and abuse across the country to the tune of billions each year. and the sad thing is that the federal government itself is complicit in the fraud and abuse because they tell people how to beat the system.
