It is really the PA system that is flawed, not those who get help from it when they really need it.

1) I will say this again. For those who think being on PA is a "carriage ride in the park" please be my guest and walk a mile in their shoes. If the lifestyle is so great, why not live it yourself.
2) This is such a pointless argument. (Just about) everyone agrees that PA serves a worthwhile purpose and are generally only upset with those who are "gaming" the system. We all agree that anyone who committs fraud should be dealt with. Considering it is 8% of the budget compared with much worse departments and programs that overspend and scam the system why get so bent out of shape. Let's face it, scams or no, 8% is gonna get spent. If you want to see the less than 1% (a number given above) stop gaming the system come up with a better system and propose it to your local government.
