Food stamp fraud may steal $400M from stimulus funds

The program is poised for a historic expansion with the addition of $20 billion in federal stimulus money. About $400 million, or 2 percent, of that will be lost to fraud, according to government estimates.

Even in Pennsylvania, which federal agencies say has the lowest percentage of fraud among states with more than a million people receiving food stamps, investigators found $1.6 million in alleged fraud last year, out of almost $1.4 billion spent — a fraud rate of about 0.1 percent. Pennsylvania has one of the country's toughest application processes for food stamps.

$400 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the fraud committed in the farm bill (which has never ever been audited by the way) and the total outright theft by the banks and Geithner.............. that's welfare in the highest degree.

and how much of that 400 million is illegal aliens who work for cash and never report it so they can get gubermint benefits??????????
