Unemployment is a completely different beast from all of our other social programs in the US. In a relative sense, it’s brainlessly easy to get on unemployment.

Lumping all social programs together and pointing out the one with the biggest fraud issue is disengenious —- e.g. the SSA reports that our disability programs have a fraud rate of less than 1%.
