    There is nothing to be ashamed about using part of a program you paid into over many years of work. That’s what it is there for. OIG has said that Medicare fraud is roughly 10-11%, and some independent studies say even higher. There is plenty of people rightfully enrolled and able to use our myriad of social programs, and that is a great thing. When guys like myself who pay 49% rate to take money out of the company I built and put 60 hours a week in, I should understandably be upset at 1/10 people enrolled in Medicare committing fraud (nevermind the rates for other programs). It’s obviously symptomatic of other problems in our bureaucracy, with just too much spending in general, but that’s a whole other conversation. Just because I wish social programs were more strict about who qualifies for them and why, I think it’s the right thing to help the people who genuinely deserve it. Painting everything with a broad brush is seemingly one of our countries biggest problems right now. I think if people actually listened to each other instead of pointing fingers, on both the left and the right, people would be amazed at how much they probably actually agree on. I think things like social media and people creating ideological echo chambers so as to not be offended by someone else’s opinion is a serious problem. Again, it’s on the right and left, but 2 decades ago on an overlapping graph the majority of the country agreed on the best path forward. In the last few years, that same study showed the graph has continually slid further and further apart, and unless people start having an open dialogue and risk be offended, the exchange of ideas which make us an incredible country will cease to exist.
